s. YUPPIE, short for "Young Urban Professional",

They dressed gorgeously, abandon the previous (Hippies 1960s-70s) life style of advocating freedom and slovenly. They had the brains. They had the looks. They made lots of money. They wanted pasta machines, Rolex watches, Sony Walkmans and a VCR, but within a few years the image had altered to that of Wall Street.

Hippies 1960s-70s

Yuppies 1980s ~

Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night

Alfred Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops

Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall

Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley were just out prowlin' around

Arthur Dexter Bradley said I'm really not sure The cops said a poor boy like you could use a break

She sees a bartender in a pool of blood

He said, I saw two men runnin' out, they looked like middleweights

Cries out my God, they killed them all

They jumped into a white car with out-of-state plates

Here comes the story of the Hurricane

And Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her head

You'll be doin' society a favor

The man the authorities came to blame

Cop said, wait a minute, boys, this one's not dead

That sonofabitch is brave and gettin' braver

For somethin' that he never done Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been The champion of the world Three bodies lyin' there does Patty see And another man named Bello, movin' around mysteriously I didn't do it, he says, and he throws up his hands I was only robbin' the register, I hope you understand I saw them leavin', he says, and he stops One of us had better call up the cops And so Patty calls the cops And they arrive on the scene with their red lights flashin' In the hot New Jersey night Meanwhile, far away in another part of town Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are drivin' around

So they took him to the infirmary And though this man could hardly see They told him that he could identify the guilty men Four in the mornin' and they haul Rubin in They took him to the hospital and they brought him upstairs The wounded man looks up through his one dyin' eye Says, wha'd you bring him in here for? He ain't the guy! Here's the story of the Hurricane The man the authorities came to blame For somethin' that he never done Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been

We got you for the motel job and we're talkin' to your friend Bello You don't wanta have to go back to jail, be a nice fellow

We want to put his ass in stir We want to pin this triple murder on him He ain't no Gentleman Jim Rubin could take a man out with just one punch But he never did like to talk about it all that much It's my work, he'd say, and I do it for pay And when it's over I'd just as soon go on my way Up to some paradise Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice And ride a horse along a trail But then they took him to the jailhouse

The champion of the world

Where they try to turn a man into a mouse

Four months later, the ghettos are in flame

All of Rubin's cards were marked in advance

Rubin's in South America, fightin' for his name

The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chance

Number one contender for the middleweight crown

While Arthur Dexter Bradley's still in the robbery game

The judge made Rubin's witnesses drunkards from the slums

Had no idea what kinda shit was about to go down

And the cops are puttin' the screws to him, lookin' for somebody to blame

To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum

When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road

Remember that murder that happened in a bar

And to the black folks he was just a crazy nigger

Just like the time before and the time before that

Remember you said you saw the getaway car

No one doubted that he pulled the trigger

In Paterson that's just the way things go

You think you'd like to play ball with the law

And though they could not produce the gun

Think it might-a been that fighter that you saw runnin' that night

The D.A. said he was the one who did the deed

If you're black you might as well not show up on the street 'Less you want to draw the heat

Don't forget that you are white

And the all-white jury agreed


Rubin Carter was falsely tried The crime was murder one, guess who testified Bello and Bradley and they both baldly lied And the newspapers, they all went along for the ride How can the life of such a man Be in the palm of some fool's hand

Born.

Duluth, Minnesota, U.S.

To see him obviously framed Couldn't help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land Where justice is a game

Genres.

Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties

Blues/ Folk/

Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise

Gospel/ Country/

While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell

Traditional pop/ Vocal jazz

An innocent man in a living hell That's the story of the Hurricane But it won't be over till they clear his name And give him back the time he's done Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been The champion of the world

Song.

Bob Dylan "Hurricane"

I rolled out this morning Kids had the mornin' news show on Bryant Gumbel was talkin' 'bout the fighting in Lebanon Some senator was squawkin' 'bout the bad economy It's gonna get worse you see, we need a change in policy

Origin. Toronto, Ontario, Canada

There's a local paper rolled up in a rubber band One more sad story's one more than I can stand Just once how I'd like to see the headline say "Not much to print today, can't find nothin' bad to say", because

Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town Nobody OD'ed, nobody burned a single buildin' down Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain We sure could use a little good news today

Song.


I'll come home this evenin' I'll bet that the news will be the same Somebody takes a hostage, somebody steals a plane How I want to hear the anchor man talk about a county fair

Web.

And how we cleaned up the air, how everybody learned to care

Whoa, tell me Nobody was assassinated in the whole Third World today And in the streets of Ireland, all the children had to do was play And everybody loves everybody in the good old USA We sure could use a little good news today

Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town

Genres. Country/ Soft rock/ pop/ adult contemporary

Nobody OD'ed, nobody burned a single buildin' down FADE, Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain We sure could use a little good news today

And I'll see your true colors Shining through You with the sad eyes

I see your true colors

Don't be discouraged

And that's why I love you

Oh I realize

So don't be afraid to let it show

It's hard to take courage

Your true colors

In a world full of people

True colors are beautiful

You can lose sight of it all

Like a rainbow

And the darkness inside you

If this world makes you crazy

Can make you feel so small

And you've taken all you can bear

But I see your true colors

You call me up

Shining through

Because you know I'll be there

I see your true colors

And I'll see your true colors

And that's why I love you

Shining through

So don't be afraid to let them show Your true colors True colors are beautiful Like a rainbow

I see your true colors And that's why I love you So don't be afraid to let it show

Show me a smile then

True colors

Don't be unhappy, can't remember

True colors

When I last saw you laughing If this world makes you crazy And you've taken all you can bear You call me up Because you know I'll be there

Born. Brooklyn, New York, U.S.

Your true colors

Shining through I see your true colors And that's why I love you So don't be afraid to let them show Your true colors True colors are beautiful Like a rainbow
