FILE- In this Dec. 8, 1975 file photo, Bob Dylan performs before a sold-out crowd in New York's Madison Square Garden, during a benefit concert for former Boxer Rubin Hurricane' Carter. Carter was eventually freed after serving 19 years in prison for three murders he didn’t commit. On Tuesday, April 4, 2011, more than three decades after Dylan first brought Carter’s plight into the public consciousness; academics from around the U.S. will examine 'Hurricane' and similar songs during a Manhattan conference called 'Bob Dylan and the Law.' (AP Photo/Ray Stubblebine, File)AP - More than three decades have passed since Bob Dylan brought the plight of boxer Rubin "Hurricane" Carter into the public consciousness: "Criminals in their coats and their ties are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise while Rubin sits like Buddha in a 10-foot cell, an innocent man in a living hell."
