I love any kind of storytelling, but ones like this touch your soul.

Bob Dylan - Hurricane, A protest song, co-written with Jacques Levy, and released in 1975 on the album Desire. It tells the story of Rubin “Hurricane” Carter, a Black middleweight boxer who was wrongfully convicted of murder in 1966

The song proceeds with a powerful condemnation of the injustice faced by Rubin Carter:

“All of Rubin’s cards were marked in advance
The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chance
The judge made Rubin’s witness read the wrong charge
The prosecutor’s office was just a big garage.”

Dylan continues to lay out the legal and social inequalities at play, painting a picture of how Carter, despite being innocent, was wrongfully imprisoned due to systemic racism and corruption.

“The three men made a plan and they made it well
They knew they’d never get caught, they knew they’d never tell
But the black man was framed, and the rest went free
It was a shameful miscarriage of justice, as clear as can be.”

The song ends with a hopeful note, calling for action to free Rubin Carter and expose the injustice that was done to him. Dylan’s fervent passion and use of vivid imagery in the lyrics helped bring national attention to Carter’s case, ultimately leading to his release in 1985 after serving nearly 20 years for a crime he didn’t commit.

“But in the heart of the night, there’s a man who’s been wronged
Rubin ‘Hurricane’ Carter, and now it’s time for the world to see
The truth behind the crime, and set him free!”

“Hurricane” became not only a song about Carter’s specific case but also an anthem for social justice and racial equality. Powerful stuff.

Candy and puppies are my weakness.

Just write free candy on the van and I’m sure you will find someone.

Small town or big city, people will always talk. I lived in a small town for five years, and if people didn’t know something, they’d just make it up. No big deal. But one night, after a few drinks, one of my husband’s friends kissed me on the cheek and joked that my two youngest kids were his. The gossip after that was ridiculous, but honestly, it was funny. Let people say what they want. The truth doesn’t change, and life’s too short to waste energy on small minds. Focus on yourself and let the rest roll off your back.

Welcome back and I felt bad. I didn’t want to offend anyone.

My apologies if it’s too much. You guys know I’m joking and not trying to offend anyone. I do have the Lush 4 myself and it’s a lot of fun. Just poking fun. 🫂🥰

Hot - the Widow’s group does this every once in awhile and it’s so much fun. I eat alone so dinner could be nice.

I can practically feel the sexual tension from here. This could definitely work! I suggested the long-distance toy to get things heated before any plane trips,trust me, it’s a total game-changer and worth the small investment. 🫣
