"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”.
Nice coin... Takes me back... just out of the Navy, working on submarines in the shipyard as a pipefitter...got laid off and had to relocate my family.... could not afford it, but admired it.

Those lyrics also work well substituting "Lexington sky" for "Memphis sky" and changing "April four" to "April nineteen."
April 4 was the correct day.
He's referring to Battle of Lexington in 1775.
It was 6:01pm.
They get an F in U.S. history.
Somehow I suspect Bono didn't get a class in U.S. History over there.
It was just after midnight Dublin time, but then that would be April 5...
