MLK Does a Body Good
Happy MLK Day, I'm not bitter that it seems like everyone else got today off except me :(  Anyways, I was listening to the radio this AM and learned that U2 wrote "In the Name of Love" as a tribute to the good doctor King, except they screwed up the lyrics... The band U2 wrote the song "Pride (In the Name of Love)" as a tribute to Dr. King and his work. However, the song contains a historical error, as the first line of the last chorus (which references Dr. King's assassination) reads "Early morning, April 4/Shot rings out in the Memphis sky", whereas Dr. King was killed shortly after 6 PM - early evening. U2 vocalist Bono admits he "screwed up" when writing the lyrics and now performs the song live with the correction.
