Hurricane: Video

Hurricane è una canzone di protesta contro l'imprigionamento del pugile americano Rubin Carter, detto Hurricane, per motivi di puro razzismo, scritta da Bob Dylan assieme allo scrittore Jacques Levy. Il testo è ispirato all'autobiografia scritta dallo stesso pugile, e vuole mettere in luce la sua innocenza a dispetto delle tre accuse di omicidio che dovette subire. Hurricane è il brano più celebre dell'album Desire, il 17esimo album studio di Dylan, pubblicato nel 1976. E' stato eseguito live solo per promuoverne l'uscita: è proprio dal 1976 che il cantautore non esegue il brano ai suoi concerti.
