bob dylan/ hurricane

conoceis a un tal bob dylan?

y a un tal rubin huracan carter, boxeador?

conoceis la relacion entre ambos?

me imagino que muchos si, y a los que no solo os dire una palabra: HURRICANE.

este es el titulo de la cancion que une a estas dos personas,hay echos que indican que dylan se reunio con carter cuando este estaba en la cercel, mirad la fotografia que puse arriba, me gustaria poder deciros esto a ciencia cierta pero la verdad esque no estoy segura, pero si esto fuera asi, podia aseguraros que Dylan es una de esas personas de las que ser puede llegar a decir: con sus actos cambio el mundo, aunque sea cambio la vida de alguien con su musica, no seria maravilloso que todos pudiesemos hacer algo asi? todos sabeis que dylan en su dia era un gran luchador contra la injusticia y mediante sus letras protestaba contra estas. para los que no conozcais la historia de esta cancion os tendre que poner al dia:

huracan carter era un boxeador muy conocido en sus tiempos, era negro, dato bastante significativo en aquellos tiempos y segun tengo entendido era bastante bueno, el caso es que se paso muchos años en la carcel por un cirmen que el no habia cometido, simplemente estaba en el lugar equivocado en el momento equivocado, como tantas veces pasa en la vida. y dylan plasmo esta historia en su musica. asi que para que conozcais la historia al completo os dejo la letra de la cancion, y asi tambien descubrireis quienes fueron relamente los asesinos del callejon de atras del ar, espero que os guste tambien os dejo un video que tiene la cancion traducida y asi mas facil, ademas es un video muy bonito, con imagenes de la pelicula,que por cierto aun he visto pero que algun dia tendre que ver. a que parece increible que, por el mero hecho de ser negro y estar en el lugar equivocado se pueda producir una injsuticia como esta? y como bien dijo dylan,

ots ring out in the barroom night

Enter patty valentine from the upper hall.

She sees the bartender in a pool of blood,

Cries out, my god, they killed them all!

Here comes the story of the hurricane,

The man the authorities came to blame

For somethin that he never done.

Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been

The champion of the world.

Three bodies lyin there does patty see

And another man named bello, movin around mysteriously.

I didnt do it, he says, and he throws up his handsI was only robbin the register,

I hope you understand.

I saw them leavin, he says, and he stops

One of us had better call up the cops.

And so patty calls the cops

And they arrive on the scene with their red lights flashinIn the hot new jersey night.

Meanwhile, far away in another part of town

Rubin carter and a couple of friends are drivin around.

Number one contender for the middleweight crown

Had no idea what kinda shit was about to go down

When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road

Just like the time before and the time before that

.In paterson thats just the way things go.

If youre black you might as well not show up on the streetless you wanna draw the heat.

Alfred bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops.

Him and arthur dexter bradley were just out prowlin around

He said, I saw two men runnin out, they looked like middleweights

They jumped into a white car with out-of-state plates.

And miss patty valentine just nodded her head.

Cop said, wait a minute, boys, this ones not dead

So they took him to the infirmary

And though this man could hardly see

They told him that he could identify the guilty men.

Four in the mornin and they haul rubin in,

Take him to the hospital and they bring him upstairs.

The wounded man looks up through his one dyin eye

Says, whad you bring him in here for? he aint the guy!

Yes, heres the story of the hurricane,

The man the authorities came to blame

For somethin that he never done.

Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been

The champion of the world.

Four months later, the ghettos are in flame,Rubins in south america, fightin for his name

While arthur dexter bradleys still in the robbery game

And the cops are puttin the screws to him, lookin for somebody to blame.

Remember that murder that happened in a bar?

Remember you said you saw the getaway car?

You think youd like to play ball with the law?

Think it might-a been that fighter that you saw runnin that night?

Dont forget that you are white.

Arthur dexter bradley said, Im really not sure.

Cops said, a poor boy like you could use a break

We got you for the motel job and were talkin to your friend bello

Now you dont wanta have to go back to jail, be a nice fellow.

Youll be doin society a favor.

That sonofabitch is brave and gettin braver.

We want to put his ass in stir

We want to pin this triple murder on him

He aint no gentleman jim.

Rubin could take a man out with just one punch

But he never did like to talk about it all that much.

Its my work, hed say, and I do it for pay

And when its over Id just as soon go on my way

Up to some paradise

Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice

And ride a horse along a trail.

But then they took him to the jailhouse

Where they try to turn a man into a mouse.

All of rubins cards were marked in advance

The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chance.

The judge made rubins witnesses drunkards from the slums

To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum

And to the black folks he was just a crazy nigger.

No one doubted that he pulled the trigger.

And though they could not produce the gun,

The d.a. said he was the one who did the deed

And the all-white jury agreed.Rubin carter was falsely tried.

The crime was murder one, guess who testified?

Bello and bradley and they both baldly lied

And the newspapers, they all went along for the ride.

How can the life of such a man

Be in the palm of som
