RIP, Rubin "Hurricane" Carter

I know this is old news but have only just seen the obituary from 3 weeks ago.
Perhaps his name was not known to many but l'm sure that any Bob Dylan
fan worth his salt will remember Bob's great recording "Hurricane"
released in mid 1970's.
As a supporter of the police in my early years l always thought that a miscarriage
of justice regarding a black guy only happened in the USA, little did we know!
For anyone who has never heard the recording then check it out on YouTube, don't
go for one of the live recordings(very hard to do live with fast words in involved music)
