[USlisa50]

I commend Bob Dylan for helping Ruben. However, I see that a lot of comments on the video are ignorant. SHAME on all of you -whatever shade, for your ignorance. You are a disgrace to humanity.

[clclclclcl90]

The letters get very fuzzy against the black and white part of the screen. It's a shame, because I really wanted to read them.

[dying2live4epicfail]

the story is so sad

but love the song

love the hurricane

love the movie 'the hurricane"

love bob dylan

[TheLittledog2]

This is a great song by all means and specially from the wiev of the humanity

[nchjanssublime]

awesome. some rough language but Dylan did it to get the point across. It was a long time ago. It hurts to think this could really happen. This story and so many more did.

[TaskMaster619]

when he said "nigger" he wasn't speaking for or as himself, the song isn't based on his opinion of the man

[AspergerUprising]

Bob Dylan said Nigger. How would he like it if a black guy said Kike?

[rubberducky159]

well dude he had to make it rhyme and it was the 70's

[mommacat55]

Get real man, Dylan was trying to help him, not hurt him. If Dylan didn't feel for Hurricane, he would not have written this song. Poetic license, get over it and get off your liberal crap and taboos.

[mommacat55]

By the way, Dylan would probably make a song about a black guy calling a Jewish man a kike.  Why do you not listen to the words again and REALLLLY HEAR what was written and sung!! Apparently you did not. Dylan did not call him a "Nigger", it was written that a cop called Hurricane that. Stop being so defensive and politically correct. That's liberal bull and you know it.

[verdemanthe1]

You're joking right?

[xNBAxSTIFFLER]

niggers say niggers to each other and if you didnt read the whole thing bob dylan even sang the song to the "nigger" before he went and sang it in the band which made headlines around the world and you know what that "nigger" said ... he said he loved it and it didnt care because it was all apart of the song of the way he was falsely accused

[pcazman]

Read what you wrote dewd. Did you think about what you wrote?

[xNBAxSTIFFLER]

yes dude it makes perfect sense... im talking bout the world nigger and bob dylan... and the guy called HURRICANE who i was referring as a nigger... because some other guy decided to call him a nigger

[pcazman]

I cant figure out whether you are 12 years old, or just cant follow the story of the song.

[xNBAxSTIFFLER]

wow dude im not even TALKING BOUT THE LYRICS OF THE SONG IM HAVING A ARGUMENT WITH A GUY ABOUT THE WORD NIGGER>>>> YET FOR SOME REASON YOUR EYES ARE STRAINING FROM THE CONVERSATION AND READING SOME OTHER BS>..

do the world a favor and go commit suicide you obviously are a mentally retarded american GG for making the stereotype american a reality

[xNBAxSTIFFLER]

and for your info everyone on the net is 12 yrs old were are all premature lil douche bags and to make it worse we even have a british accent and then we scream and cry and whine and gloat...

ye thats just how the net works when ignorance is bliss you turn 12 yrs old

[xXBlinDXx12]

haha

AMEN

[avrillavigne189]

@xNBAxSTIFFLER Bob had to use nigger cause he needed a rhyme for trigger.

[Ntzex]

The chills shoot through my whole body when I listen to this song.

[177988]

great song thanks for the post

[o0sunsi0o]

I've been looking for this song thanks for sharing it!!! Love it.

[straBerto]

No to racism

[rom1324]

Good song :).. Loved the movie... And well i personally dont think he did it but people are phycos for fighting over the past just get over it... we cant change it and its done.. If he did do it then he will be punished as such and if he didnt then well he didnt.. I dont understand why people fight over the past.. Its done and over no one can ever change it so stop fighting over this shizz :)

[kellenj9]

yo daveman you fuckin stupid idiot if he was guilty why is he free thanright now? dumb fuck

[ChicanoOldiesRuca]

i absolutely love this song it was in the movie dazed and confused only when i looked up the soundtrack it was not there that made me mad why do they always make soundtracks and leave out the best songs.... thank you very much for this jam! =]

[hautesa]

Extraordinaire...

[EF20052009]

Bob's Amazing and so is this song!

[legends11111111]

just read the comments on this... he was inocent that was typical american racism back then

[davemann36]

"Months after Dylan released this song, Carter beat up a woman who was the leader of the "Free Carter" campaign in New Jersey. [See Prosecutor's Brief.] [See news story from 1976.] ".

Worthless savage, enough said.

[jessicaxjukebox]

and if u would've read the REAL story he was innocent. back than they blamed him for all that stupid crap, some people continued blaming him.

[trentocontra]

sei un coglione. spero che possa capitare a te "the hurricane's story". i hate you stupdis american racists. god is great and, in effect, now you're asking food from white and black people, 'cause your's in a shit situation, like poor "niggers" in that past time. shame on you! carter is innocent and u know this! what's the problem with u? your racism, what else.

[trentocontra]

sorry, this message was for davemann36, not for jessica. sorry, again.

[rubberducky159]

dude carter was in jail months after he wrote this song how that possible?

[davemann36]

He was let out on furlough to promote the song...Google it, I'm not making shit up...

[striker78900]

what was the reason for Carter to beat up her !?

[davemann36]

Great song by my greatest hero, Bob Dylan, but Hurricane Carter was reconvicted because he was absolutely guilty of murder without question

[Taberkalosis]

Hes innocent , he dedicates hes life to helping those who are convicted with little or no evidence.

[davemann36]

Once again, I love Dylan, know probably every song he's ever written. Hurricane Carter was reconvicted in 1976 with overwhelming evidence proving his guilt. Fact.

[PamJC68]

your probably white!!!!! or course your going to say something like that fukking surpremacists

[jessicaxjukebox]

r u dense? do u not get this movie? he was innocent of everything. he's a good guy.

[davemann36]

Movie? What movie? We're talking about a triple murderer here, in REAL life. Explain to the victim's family that he's innocent. Overwhelming guilt, with several black folks on the jury as well. Then reconvicted in 1976, again with overwhelming evidence.

[jessicaxjukebox]

first: know your research before you talk. i was referring to the movie "the hurricane" which is based on his story.

second: he was innocent it was proven, the white judges never look at the real evidence cause they knew it would prove he didn't do anything. it's called research look into it before you talk.

[davemann36]

You have some serious denial issues. For a second opinion Google for "Bob Dylan's Hurricane Murders the Truth"

The documentation is impressive.

[jessicaxjukebox]

&you have arguing issues. i don't give a crap what you have to say. :/ everyone has their own opinions. i argued because you said this ain't a movie, when it is.

[StrangelyBrownNo1]

What's your research? You watched a film and listened to a Dylan song? The case wasn't as clear cut as all this.

[sca696]

forget the song and the movie,the fact is the man was found innocent,and released from prison with all charges dropped!

[sca696]

now there is some reseach for youu!

[jessicaxjukebox]

some reason everyone thinks otherwise :/

[jessicaxjukebox]

:/ are you dense?

yes i watched a film.. "the hurricane" and this song was made for it.

whats the big fuckin deal? i gave my opinion and didn't ask for yours.

[StrangelyBrownNo1]

People put their opinions on the net, people comment on it... and they don't like it? The song is still amazing whether or not it's correct. If you're that stupid you can't look into things, it's your loss.

[jessicaxjukebox]

you must be half blind.. i never said i didn't like the song. i never argued if the song was correct or not. i don't know where the fuck your getting that from, so unless you know what ur talking about.. stop talking to me, thanks.

[jessicaxjukebox]

oh and there are other people saying the same thing i first said, why don't you bug them with your arguing cause i'm not interested.

[Fratalian274]

@davemann36 @davemann36 Based on what?, how the eyewitnesses did not identify him as one of the shooters, and one said he was definitely not there? or how Alfred Bello said he only saw two black men in his first statement and then years later changed it to he definitely saw Carter at the bar? or how no fingerprints, paraffin tests, or any proof whatsoever was found?

It's ignorant pricks like you that make other countries hate America.

[Taberkalosis]

Yes conviction lacked evidence when he was presumed guilty in 1966.

[sormu16]

Great song by one of the greatest.

Carter "wrongly convicted"?
