Bob Dylan - Hurricane (REACTION) #bobdylan #reaction #trending #music

This song was a protest to the imprisonment,

Hurricane is a masterpiece...

'Desire' was always my favourite Dylan album - some really great songs - 'isis' 'Mozambque' - pure class.

Bob Dylan is a Minnesota treasure, he has received the Nobel prize for literature for his writing and contributions to music. Lyrical genius

I remember reading the book when it came out, I was a young teen. Never saw the movie though. Thanks for sharing this one!

Bob Dylan wrote the song in 1975 for the purpose of raising awareness about the incarceration of an innocent man. It worked, although it still took several years before Reuben was released.

Dylan don't pull no punches.

Powerful song from a great album.

Dylan has said he considers himself a poet first and a musician second. He wrote the poem, then set it to his music. Love your thoughtful reactions.

In our civics class back in 8th grade we put together a letter and we all signed it requesting that he be released from prison. This was done by quite a few students all over the world at that time. I have to think it made some kind of difference when they finally let him go. Peace!

That violin.

Yes the Hurricane , the fighter. Ruben Carter.

Master story teller Bob Dylan. Some one told Bob he was the Poet Laureate of the United States. Bob being a humble man said, No sir. That would be Smokey Robinson..

This song put such a spotlight on his story and really started the fight to get him freed. Such a great song

Read the book Hurricane Carter wrote, the 17th round Thanks Guys, Loved the Hurricane

Shout out to Scarlett on violin.

This was a very popular song when it came out.

The song is relentless.

That violin….!!!!

Your not ready..

Weird to say anything about Dylan is underrated but his storytelling isn't a prominent thing people talk about. His speed-like delivery too, perfect

Song is almost 50 years old. Dylan stands alone as the greatest songwriter ever.

Bob returned to his protest/activist roots of the 60s when he wrote this in 1975. He was so pissed off and outraged that he set about researching the details of this for months and came out with this song. We (middle-class white kids) had never heard of the case, but when Dylan sang about it, everyone paid attention. He's all that.

Famous beatnik poet Allen Ginsberg knew the story, having grown up in northern New Jersey and told his friend Bob Dylan about it, encouraging him to write a song about it.

Bob dylan, one of a kind ! his Masters of war is a must listen. and positively 4th street is a masterpiece of a diss song.

I remember seeing Hurricane Carter on Gillette's Friday Night Fights back in the 1960s. He was a helluva fighter. For another classic Dylan song regarding racism, try The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll. It's from an earlier period of Dylan's career than Hurricane.

This song came out while he was in prison. Dylan was a major force working to help free Hurricane.

Lennon and McCartney are great but only Bob could write a song like this❤

When I heard this I shouted out..."Dylan is back!" The songwriting is beyond, beyond, and Dylan's passion for his subject is overwhelming. This is something that only he could have written. A+++

One of his very best !

This is one of those times Dylan's often derided voice sounds Perfect 🙂

Great tune 😮

Song came way before the movie 😮

All the crooks in their coats and ties😢

After all, Bob Dylan is a protest singer. And this came out long before Ruben was released. Pretty sure this song was at least a small part of him getting out. Greetings from Norway.

Bob Dylan is, hands down, the greatest single songwriter of the last 100 years. Don’t think so? Look up how many songs he wrote that others covered. You’ll be blown away. He was bold, creative, and could spin a story.

Great reaction again guys..

This is one of my favorite albums, I still have my original copy on vinyl, the whole album is fantastic.

This was written in a time where the stars really care about their causes I think now the celebrities just take whatever the popular causes is they jump on that bandwagon but I don’t think they really believe in it great song awesome reaction

A Master Piece both in music and lyrics. The violin was amazing along with the rest .

Thanks guys for this one.This has always been my favorite Bob Dylan song,great music and fantastic story telling.

I was under the impression that Dylan and many of the other celebrities rowed back on their support of Ruben Carter after his release.

Yeah this is a great song

Dylan is a great poet and story teller and he's not afraid to say what needs to be said. I went to many concerts over the years, I got to see him live and I consider that to be one of my all time favorites (along with seeing The Beatles).

Yeah. Dylan.

That son of a bitch is brave and getting braver. That's the line

This song was released a year after I was born and honestly could have been made today and would still be relevant.

the movie is because of the song.

Song came out way before the movie...
