"Early morning, April four
A shot rings out in the Memphis sky.
Free at last, they took your life
But they could not take your Pride."

Have a nice day.

    A powerful U2 lyric about the death of MLK. Bono got the time of day wrong, so he changes it now live from time to time with “Early evening”.

    Those lyrics also work well substituting "Lexington sky" for "Memphis sky" and changing "April four" to "April nineteen."

    April 4 was the correct day.

    Somehow I suspect Bono didn't get a class in U.S. History over there.
