I don't really care if the court tried him for manslaughter or murder or daylight robbery. Hattie Carroll was a servant and as such was denied the most basic of human rights anyway. She gave birth to ten children who I would much prefer to break bread with than Zantzinger and his wealthy family.

i think 6 months was enough, why? because this song is going to haunt him til he dies

redsox9976 I was only commenting on the song as I heard it on youtube. As i would any work of art, I would allow, so to speak, the artist room for poetic license. He may have "milked it" as you say in a earlier comment. But the truth is Hattie Carroll died and he: Zantzinger was in some way to blame. His sentence was way too light. As you agreed yourself. Maybe the song stands as a metaphor for all black people of the 60's - "Who were killed for no reason" You can see it that way too.

I think zantzinger got off easy, he should have been in jail for much longer I am just saying that dylan's song while poetic is somewhat inaccurate in its report of events. I understand that it is just artistic expression but I was simply clarifying for any unsure viewers who got the impression that she was beaten to death.

Thanks, bananahands39. Your right he is one in a million. We are very lucky to have seen his kind. He is not only America's greatest song writer, he is also our greatest living poet. Take care of yourself and your great judgement. One fan to another.

Wow, very nicely said. Nice job, man. I couldn't agree more with you. Bob Dylan is truly one in a million.

Redsox9976... The hemorrhage was attributed to high blood pressure, an enlarged heart, and hardened arteries. Bad health withstanding, the rise in blood pressure was most likely set off by the assault (which, you may forget, he assaulted 2 other people that night) IN ADDITION TO the verbal abuse. To say that it was more his mouth (or only so) than his cane is just as ignorant as saying Zantzinger is an okay fella. Your statement shows more lawyer justification than it does thought.
