"Meanwhile, far away in another part of town, Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are drivin’ around. Number one contender for the middleweight crown, Had no idea what kinda shit was about to go down. When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road, Just like the time before and the time before that. In Paterson that’s just the way things go: If you’re black you might as well not show up on the street ’Less you wanna draw the heat."
Bob Dylan

January 1, 1970
