I learned my first Dylan song today "Hurricane"

[Richard Ryan]

A stirring number from a great album.  Kindly note, however, that
considered as an account of a historical figure and set of incidents
"Hurricane" is at best a tissue of myths.  See, for example:

...and on the song in particular:

Sorry to say, reading much about the actual Hurricane Carter and the
Patterson murders for which he was almost certainly justly convicted
rather spoils the Dylan number...
