"Hurricane" is a song written by Bob Dylan and Jacques Levy and released on the 1976 as a benefit concert and protest for Rubin "Hurricane" Carter a boxer wrongly accused of a murder. The movie later came out in 1999 and the music Dylan made was used to augment the movie. Dylan did an excellent job as usual and his signing is right on target.
Thank you for sharing this info!
Dear God ~ thank you for Bob Dylan
I love how utterly pissed off Bob sounds on this track.
Yeah, he sounds genuinely angry. This wasn't just a famous white musician making a buck off the story of a black man, who was wrongfully convicted. It wasn't "virtue signalling" either. He was honestly enraged by Rubin Carter's story and he wanted the world to know about what happened to that poor fellow and so many other black people in the US, he wanted other people to get angry about the racist justice system in the US as well. It's so sad that this song is still relevant in its' message today...
@@NKA23 Very true. And he'd already had a long list of civil rights (i.e. anti-racist) songs from the 60s, from The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll, The Death of Emmitt Till, George Jackson, Only a Pawn in their Game (about the killing of Medger Evers). This was not a celebrity publicity stunt. Dylan is a difficult guy to get a handle on at times, but about some things, he's crystal clear.
Glad our youth are discovering the greatest artist ever. His art pieces and sculpture gates awesome. Total artist!!!
This song is a masterpiece. Great first reaction.
It sure is a masterpiece. I am glad you loved my reaction
He wrote a few of those. I mean many of those.
Amazing Song, great lyrics and a brilliant violin player..
The violinist who adds so much emotion to the music is named Scarlet Rivera. She was a street musician in NYC who Dylan noticed and he asked her to come play with his band. She plays on most of the songs in this album, called "Desire".
Woooooosh! (Glad you like it)
Most people can't even begin to imagine how important Dylan actually is as a writer.
Lit. Nobel-prize is the correct move.
True that he is so talented 🔥
I love bob but really they give the Nobel prize to anyone now
@@johnLennon255 We're looking at you, Barack 👀
Bob Dylan did go into the Place were Rubin Carter was held. He played the Demo to him. Bob wasn't sure about keeping the N word in. It was Rubin who said leave it in! Rubin was also brought to tears when he finally got out. Bob was there when Rubin was finally set free! They made a movie about this. Denzel Washington played Rubin Carter! By the Way Rubin said of this song. Dylan Told his whole story in a matter of 8 mins. The two were great friends! Also the money that movie made. Half of it went to Rubin's Family! I love this song! Really sad and it makes me angery! Racist Cops!
Wow! Glad to hear the friendship that these two had, so admirable. Thanks for this info I had no idea about it and will definitely check out the movie.
@@africareact There is another reason they wanted Rubin's head. Watch the film. Its in the start of the movie!
This actually happened about 20km from here. He spent almost 20 years in prison before his conviction was finally overturned. He died at age 76 in Canada, in 2014.
What a sad story! May he RIP!
My favorite fighter. Next to Toronto George Chuvalo. Rube lived in Toronto.
Thanks for sharing this
According to the movie it was a bunch of Canadian people who worked the judicial system pushing to get his conviction re-examined. Plus Rubin spent his time in jail studying the law and contributed to his own defense.
You may appreciate Dylan's song "Tangled u
up in Blue".
Thanks for reacting to this awesome song.. Dylan is a master wordsmith and the story needs to be repeatedly told.
You are welcome and thanks too
I love this song. I remember when it first came out. Dylan sings it perfectly. Enjoyed your comments too. Thanks
The movie Hurricane is very well made and it has Denzel Washington as Rubin Carter.
Other good Dylan songs are Maggie's Farm, Blowin' In The Wind, Mr. Tambourine Man and One More Cup Of Coffee
Since you like stories, try Mr. Tambourine Man first then - the most amazing lyrics I know. Look for the live performance at Newport in 1964 (only negative point there: one verse is omitted) or the album version (complete lyrics) directly from the official Bob Dylan channel. In the case of One more Cup of Coffee, go for the Rolling Thunder (Netflix docu) performance. Unbelievable delivery and phrasing in there.
Keep on keeping on!
Thanks Jason for this info! I will be sure to check out the movie and the other song suggestions.
Thank you so much Bolly, I'll be sure to check them out!
@@africareact Hope you'll enjoy them then...they would make great subjects of reaction videos in my opinion.
Hey Fay... On this same record "Desire" is a great song called "Mozambique." As an African woman you would probably appreciate it....
I agree Mozambique beautiful song
Your reaction was pure
Omg, that plot twist and your reaction 10 seconds into the song 😂
"Joey" is another great story ! ( Bob Dylan)
will check it out, thanks for the feedback
The song is brutal.👍👍
Great song. 👌👌
Faye, I ❤️your reaction.
From Basque Country with love. ❤️
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it! From Kenya with love 💖💖💖💖
Legendary song, love your reactions...btw you're adorable 🙂
Aww! Thanks for the compliment and i am glad you enjoyed it!
A truly great song. Dylan never cared about what anyone else thought - he was fearless, and this wasn't his only song with a great message about justice, and a corrupt justice system.
he still is.
Amazing how you give an extra power to the song, loved it.
The Movie is just called, "Hurricane", mpwa. It is for rent on RUclips for $3.99. It was made in 1999. (I've deleted several personal experiences from my comments. My Dad was one to stand up against racism in our all white town.)
Wow! Your dad is a true hero and people need to stand up against all social injustices in society so we can have a little heaven down here! I will check out the movie
Great choice this is my favorite Dylan song! one of them at least. 😊 I'm really enjoying all of your reactions and the sound of your voice. I like it how sometimes you keep talking. Lol
Love the song. Love the reacting.
Your curiosity made me cry...
Sending you hugs 🤗🥰
Awesome reaction! And i love your accent! Keep up the good work!
Aww! Thank you💖
Hi it would be great if you could react to Bob Dylan's 'Murder Most Foul' from 2020, thanks!!!!
Hi too. Thanks for the suggestion, I will be sure to check it out
@@africareact you really must
It is a story about injustice, not love.
You should listen to "Brilliant Version Of Borrowed Angel! by Mo Pitney. A young real country singer.
Powerful cutting-edge lyrics hard to resist strong emotional engagement with this song. What’s next maybe a little Leonard Cohen?
I LOVE RUBIN HURRICANE CARTER HE IS MY IDOL. He was also an amazing Middleweight fighter who fought the whole division with no fear, only to be feared. Also, a very handsome man. The perfect specimen of a black man. Just look at his physique.
But it's not that sad, because in the end, like always, the good guy wins. Rube got out of prison, was free, and left a legacy so untouchable it's incredible. He was BETTER THAN MUHAMMAD ALI and I mean every single letter in that sentence.
I subbed. I also made a short documentary yesterday about Rube I would appreciate some recognition 'cause I ain't gettin' much for my hard work these days. Doesn't this youtube algorithm just oppress us!
If you wanna learn more about Rubin Carter, I have everything so far. I have read the book he wrote in prison, The 16th Round, I suggest you read it as well. My channel is filled with him. I make highlights of his bouts too.
Thanks for sharing this info and true, in the end the good guys win. I will check out your channel for sure and thanks for the sub😍
@@africareact Sounds good. 🤝
Better that Ali? That's hilarious.
@@werewolfhunter1347 yeah better than that loud mouth racist.
@@THEDONSTR8Fightah76 i dont know whats funnier your name or your comments
This song helped get Hurricane Carter’s murder conviction overturned by the US Supreme Court in 1985. It generated tons of publicity for the cause. Carter spent the rest of his life thanking Dylan.
FYI for the people lying in the comments: He did get another trial, found guilty every time.
try leonard cohen
Fun fact: Dylan's original line was, "I was only robbing the bodies, I hope you understand." But either Columbia (or their legal team, I can't remember which) expressed a fear of legal reprisal from the people he was writing about. Hence the line change to, "I was only robbing the register..."
Watch the movie “Hurricane” about Rubin "Hurricane" Carter. Today Detective Vincent J. DeSimone would have done time
A sad story but to anyone who hasn’t seen the story of how Ruben got freed from prison it is beautiful.. “hate put me in prison, loves going to bust me out”
Thanks a lot for sharing this 🙏
I've always liked this song; but there's no denying that the lyrics can be contradictory - the references to the blind man, for example.
There is a kind of contrast between the drums that make you want to dance and the story the song tells, which is rather depressing; and unfortunately still too often topical.
So very true. But I so much love the contrast and it shows what life truly is like
You're right Faye, but sometimes I tell myself that a lot of negative things are inherent in humans. And look for example at the Nobel Peace Prize; it is named after a man who invented explosives that helped kill other humans, a weapons manufacturer among others. And we chose him to represent the idea of peace!
@@christiang9718 to be fair, he kind of chose himself. We did collectively accept it though.
That's a method Bob Marley applied to a lot of his stuff purposely: catchy, upbeat music to bring attention to lyrics that condemn the injustice in the world. It definitely works.
😂 do you agree with this into fay
I believe more people should stand up for justice in society
Horrible how Rubin was framed
How is that?
@@africareact I will gladly give you a synopsis of this case. Firstly, I would suggest the following two videos:
John Artis - Interview
ruclips.net/video/zkJQ5XOYCoE/видео.html
Rubin Carter - Interview
ruclips.net/video/bkOTvXK0tok/видео.html
In the John Artis interview he gives the best summary of the case I have seen. The second video is an enlightening interview with Rubin Carter.
The racial tension in America is high even today, one can only imagine how bad it was back in 1966. You have three white people killed and a fourth person wounded at a bar sometime between 2:20 and 2:40 am Saturday June 17, 1966. Rubin Carter was a well-known boxer at the time, hence the nickname "Hurricane". Rubin Carter had John Artis be his driver that night while they attended a nearby bar. John Artis was 19 years old at the time. The police in Paterson, New Jersey vindictively arrested Rubin Carter and John Artis for the murders. A few years later the Paterson police department had multiple officers arrested due to corruption.
Rubin Carter and John Artis were arrested in spite of the fact that one of the victims, while at the hospital did not identify Rubin Carter as one of the shooters. The description of the assailants given by the prosecutions two primary witnesses did not match Carter and Artis. The murderers were described as being tall, light-skinned, pencil-thin mustache, and wearing dark clothing. John Artis was relatively tall, but none of the other descriptors matched Carter and Artis.
Rubin Carter and John Artist were put on trial two times for the murders. The first trial Rubin Carter and John Artis were convicted by an all-white jury. The lead witness Alfred Bello and lead detective Vincent Desimone were two of the most deceitful characters involved in this case. Judge Samuel Larner presided over the first trial and stated he had serious doubts about the truthfulness of Alfred Bello. Rubin Carter and John Artis were sentenced to life in prison, with Rubin Carter receiving a double life sentence. They were a little more lenient on John Artis due to his young age. It was clear the police tried to intimidate the younger Jon Artis into implicating the more disliked Rubin Carter. Rubin Carter had a difficult upbringing, violent past (though nothing remotely close to murder), and he was very outspoken. He said things in public that even some blacks today probably would not say. Due to this the police likely had a personal vendetta against him.
After fifteen years John Artis was paroled. Rubin Carter eventually made a petition to federal court and his conviction was overturned. The judge ruled the prosecution appealed to racism and concealed evidence.
I do not know if you are from South Africa. Bob Dylan’s song Hurricane is in the same spirit as Peter Gabriel’s song about Steve Biko. Bob Dylan is thought of very highly by the black community in America. Bob Dylan also sung at the March on Washington.
Keep doing reactions you have a lovely spirit.
Carter was paroled in 1976 and granted a new trial, a brief spell of freedom during which he knocked out a 112-pound woman running his “free Rubin” support committee. As she told the Newark Star-Ledger in 2000, “I didn’t see it coming. I felt everything getting dark. I remember praying to Allah, ‘Please help me,’ and apparently Allah rolled me over, and he kicked me in the back instead of kicking my guts out. Allah saved my life.”
lol.
🤣so funny
@@africareact He’s trying to justify what was done to Rubin.
Thanks for the insight
If racist injustice is sad, then I'm sad for you. The emotion that is proper in response to racial and racist injustice should be RAGE!! Rage and an intense desire to bring down the filthy racist system that every day perpetuates such CRIMES against Black folk in America. Sadness is for yourself, to make yourself feel better. Rage is for everyone, for everyone. If injustice doesn't make you enraged then if it happens to you don't expect any help, only people being sad for you, which is about as helpful as nothing at all.
