Early morning, April 4,
shot rings out in the Memphis sky.
Free at last, they asked for your life;
they could not take your pride.

Amazing, how if I go some months without hearing this, when I do, say, on a sunny day when life looks pretty good in spite of details, it can sure send me back to 1985, kicking back with mates in my place across the street from the Uni, at 933 Broadway, long since buried under a ghastly condo-plex...and yes, such a rocking tribute to MLK that if things look bad, it can bring the despair. This song MOVES!

On this day in history - Rosa parks refused to give up her seat on the bus, thus turned a quiet unknown preacher into a civil rights leader (Martin Luther King Jr.). Funny how one moment inspires another, and then we get great music to remind us.

I've heard this song probably 1000 times over the last 3 decades and I never get sick of it... it still moves me every time. In my opinion, probably one of the best songs from the 80's if not ever.

That'd have been a shame, 'cause then they would've never made my favorite album, Achtung Baby. |
