“The Hurricane” by Bob Dylan (1975)
“The Hurricane” came to existence as a protest against boxer Rubin “Hurricane” Carter’s imprisonment. Bob Dylan believed that racism was to be blamed for the ordeal. Lawyers from Columbia Records actually requested that the lyrics be changed — the original lyrics made references to star witnesses Alfred Bello and Arthur Dexter Bradley and that wasn’t allowed as it was a pending case.
