Good call. My language was a little unrefined there, I apologise

You don't know that he didn't care, he may have cared. Dylan got the story from a northern newspaper, and probably distorted it to make it the moral fable it is today.

It doesn't matter if she was 'innocent' or not, or whatever that means. It's a story about a man who didn't care and what that led to

Hattie is a lovely name. Lucky you

If she was or not it doesn't matter. The songs about a man who was so self obsessed he didn't understand that his actions counted or that a person was on the end of them. It's a good lesson. So why does it matter at all?

Doomed and determined to destroy all the gentle. Class line

what is the point in killing each other? we r all one and killing is not an option. The lady got killed because she didn't do something William wanted. One mistake... equals death? i don't think so. so sad though

very good point i never thought of it like that. if he never wrote this song i never would have known about this story of how the law let a man get away with a horrible murder

cheese shit person... i was kidding. But Hattie is my name. I just thought that was cool because I only know like 2 people with the same name as me... and they are tiny little kids. well other than my great grandma i was named after but i never met her. so suck it!
