Music Monday - U2 Pride (In the Name of Love) MLK Day

Many know that Pride (In the Name of Love)" is a very popular U2 song found on the 1984 album The Unforgettable Fire. It was released as the album's first single. Many may also know that it was ranked 378th by "Rolling Stone" on their list of 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

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.
