In the spring of '75, Bob Dylan crossed the heavy bars of Rahway State Prison in Woodbridge to meet in person Rubin “Hurricane” Carter, unjustly accused of triple murder by an all-white jury, just as the prosecutor was also white.

It was an emotional meeting captured by a famous black-and-white photograph that inspired Bob Dylan to write a song destined for history, a song that from the start achieved such success it was pressed as a 45 RPM, with 4 minutes on each side.

In '75, Bob Dylan also held a benefit concert for Rubin “Hurricane” Carter at Madison Square Garden, accompanied by Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, and Allen Ginsberg, where he raised $100,000 for “Hurricane's” lawyers.

Thanks to the collective protest movement greatly influenced by Dylan's song, in 1985, Judge Haddon Lee Sarokin of the Federal Court declared that the trial had been tainted by racial motivations.

On February 26, 1988, all charges against the former boxer "Hurricane" were finally dropped, and he returned to freedom.

After Rubin “Hurricane” Carter's release, Dylan has not performed the song live again, but the memorable lines still resonate today:
“This is the story of Hurricane/
but it won’t be over until they clear his name/
and give back the years he lost/
They put him in a cell but he could have been champion of the world.”

Taking inspiration from the brilliant idea of @[Martello], I feel encouraged to pay a sort of "tribute" to a great artist like Pino Daniele, that is, a ranking of his albums (stopping at Mascalzone Latino from 1989) from worst to best...

N°9: "Bonne Soirée" (1987)
Released two years after the previous one, with this album even Pino falls into the trap of "80s sounds," into which many—practically all—of his colleagues had fallen, even well before. This album reflects the downward trend already started with the previous one, but Pino still hasn't completely run out of ideas, as evidenced by the fact that there are still a few good tracks in this (still rather unconvincing) album.
Overall rating: 6

Reviving the brilliant idea of @[Martello] (please, don’t take it the wrong way :-)), I would like to pay a sort of "tribute" to a great artist like Pino Daniele, specifically a ranking of his albums (stopping at Mascalzone Latino from 1989) from worst to best...

N°10: "Schizzechea With Love" (1988)
His ninth studio album, can perhaps be considered the first truly inadequate episode of his discography. However, there are still some scattered gems—like always, up to the early '90s—and we’re certainly not talking about a horrible and unlistenable mess. It continues the path laid out by the previous "Bonne Soirée" from 1987, presenting a sound that is slightly more "80s," which, today, feels decidedly older and outdated compared to the still very relevant masterpieces from the first phase of his career, which remain timeless even after forty years.
Overall rating: 5.5
