But how many of you know that it was written about Martin Luther King, Jr.?
Today on Martin Luther King, Jr. day in the United States, this is my pick for Music Monday!
There are two versions. The first is a live version performed by U2. The second is a tribute featuring clips of Martin Luther King and the civil rights era.

Woah! Was it seriously written by MLK? That is totally awesome! I absolutely love this song.
The things you learn through MM! Hehehehe
I had no idea that it was written about MLK but feel I should've done. Guess with their Irish connection one tends to assume other possible inspirations but it fits with their human rights interests (which I imagine does stem from the Irish troubles) and I suppose I've never really listened to the words that closely - their big sound perhaps detracts from the lyrics a bit although they always have the one catchy phrase don't they?
It's a great song though. U2 at their best.
ROCKIN!!!!!!!!
