Song of the day for January 3, 2025
Hurricane by Bob Dylan is today’s featured song.
On this day in 1976, amid a sea of political discourse regarding the wrongful conviction of boxer Rubin “Hurricane” Carter, Bob Dylan’s protest song, “Hurricane,” peaked at No.33 on the Billboard Hot 100. The Top 40 hit spread awareness about Carter’s story and, eventually, stirred up enough media attention to help Carter get released from prison.
