Rubin "Hurricane" Carter dies at 76

thanks for posting

i never heard his name.....i'm also pretty confident he contributed NOTHING WORTHWHILE TO SOCIETY.

That was one of my favourite Dylan songs.

Oh, but clearly Robin Thicke and Ole Miley is every bit the reason our society is still intact... So might as well leave the rest out of the picture.

don't know them either.

should i be doing research bc somehow the names listed in this thread have done something good for humanity / society?

Yeah I see your name here and wonder the same thing too , good luck

Sarcasm, pal. Thicke is a joke, Miley is a total nutcase (with a fine-ass body to spare) who do not contribute to society whatsoever, in fact acts like them are further pushing today's generation into an immoral hellhole. Rubin didn't contribute much to society, he was just a great talent with an interesting but tragic personal life and self destructive temper problems.
Bob Dylan, who shot Rubin to fame, was a songwriting legend. Who contributed to society.

Rubin Carter was the man who one day could have been the champion of the world....

Ok, I'll give you that. The Who contributed to society as well, a little bit.

That was the only good Dylan song.

Yeah, pretty much. And these douchebag musicians and hollyweird people always try to portray a common thief as a hero or somebody who society has done wrong by. Rubin Carter was a murderer, and is probably paying for his crimes.

Yes, had he not murdered....

The Who were very f-in talented, almost innovators of the '70s British rock scene (Post-Invasion) and were almost (if not) every bit as legendary as The Beatles and Stones.

He was wrongly convicted. Released after serving 20 years.

The Who were better than the Beatles and Stones, imo.

we seem to think along similar lines... nice to virtually "meet" you.

The only man Ali said he did not want to fight

Thanks for this.

Contrary to some opinions here, this man was a hero.

Following his pardon, he went on to represent others who were wrongfully accused.

RIP Rubin Hurricane Carter

Weak minded fool... Your opinions are worthless and meaningless...
I for one am also confident... Confident enough to say you are nothing worthwhile to humanity

Anyway, to those with a heart, Ruben Carter spent a lot of his adult life wrongly imprisoned... He fought his case and eventually won, he wrote a book, and there was a movie about his life, Denzel Washington portrays the fighter, should check it out!

Yes, I think the youth of today are sadly mis-informed, or at least are not listening to the right music!!

Or watching informative movies that are historically based

sad he spoke at my daughter's college graduation ceremony, he was awesome

Nice, can you recall what his speak was about?

Concrete Blonde, this is not really a dating site, although I see that young fools like you might think it is

Agreed. Ol' Bob has been mightily overrated, even though he admitted to selling his immortal soul to De Debbil, for money and fame!

I call Bullshit, Bob had and has what you call Integrity.

rubin carter was a hero , he was railroaded by a corupt system sentenced for something he didnt do, he should have won that title which was stolen from him , anywho denzel did an awesome job in that movie.
