message: Why doesn't Dylan sing this song anymore? Is it perhaps because he believes he was conned by Carter?? I think some explaination for him not singing it in over 20 years should be given, especially given its popularity! 157.190.228.23 (talk) 11:54, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

message: The article says the song runs for 8 minutes and 33 seconds, but the version I downloaded is almost 10 minutes (9:50). How many different versions are there? Paper Luigi T • C 10:33, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

message: Very odd.
This is about the only well-known song whch seems to be completely unavailable on YouTube. Even uploads of the whole Desire album have this track deleted. Why? Has something happened? Can this be added to the article, whatever it is?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.198.151.51 (talk) 23:33, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

message: "Dylan had written topical ballads such as "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" and Bob wasn't sure that he could write a song [about Carter].... He was just filled with all these feelings about Hurricane. He couldn't make the first step. I think the first step was putting the song in a total storytelling mode. I don't remember whose idea it was to do that. But really, the beginning of the song is like stage directions, like what you would read in a script: 'Pistol shots ring out in a barroom night.... Here comes the story of the Hurricane.' Boom! Titles. You know, Bob loves movies, and he can write these movies that take place in eight to ten minutes, yet seem as full or fuller than regular movies"
This is not attributed to any speaker, as far as I can tell. It's sourced to a book by Clinton Heylin, but is the author publishing formal sentences with "You know,..." in them, or quoting someone else? Joe Suggs (talk) 22:48, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't this be discussed in more depth within the article?  Was there no response to the use of the slur? - Bossanoven (talk) 00:59, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
