Link to Song: Hurricane
What you should know about this song: In the summer of 1975, Dylan was inspired by his visit with imprisoned boxer Rubin ‘Hurricane’ Carter and the circumstances that led to his arrest, which Carter claimed was unjust.
“Hurricane sent me his book, which I read and which really touched me. i felt that the man was just innocent, from his writings and knowing that part of the country. So I went to visit him and was really behind him, trying to get a new trial.” – Bob Dylan, 1985
