- 51-year-old black barmaid Hattie Carroll was assaulted at a white tie event in Baltimore in February 1963 by 24-year-old William Zantzinger, a young man from a wealthy family who had drunkenly attacked two other black members of staff earlier that evening. Carroll died later that morning after suffering a brain haemorrhage and Zantzinger was charged with her murder. When he claimed he was too drunk to remember the attack, his charge was reduced to manslaughter. He was sentenced to six months in prison and a fine of $500, although his incarceration was pushed back to allow him time to harvest the tobacco crop his family owned.
Dylan's song, recorded not long after Zantzinger was sent down, sneers at "You who philosophise, disgrace and criticise all fears / Take the rag away from your face, now ain't the time for your tears." Zantzinger later called Dylan "a no-account son of a b. I should have sued him and put him in jail."
Great Dylan cover Kareem! A very storied song with such sad lyrics my friend....a true injustice 😥 thanks for sharing this song with us today..... Steve
Thanks Steve. Since Dylan turned 83 the other day I took a deeper dive into his music and discovered songs like this that show his empathy and his willingness to sing for those without a voice. He is on tour this summer with Willie Nelson, age 91, so as I always say there is a lot more music in us and we have more songs to sing for peace and for those who need a song. Happy Thursday amigo.
