I'll quibble with MLK here: God is completely disinterested in the freedom of the human race.  It's been out of God's hands for a long, long time now.

indeed. But Tim Tebow obviously disagrees with you:

BOS3 Sam Cooke

as long as Tim stays away from saying "Jesus wanted our football team to win the football game" after a win, I'm good.

Worth reminding everyone of who vocally opposed the MLK holiday: Jesse Helms, John McCain, Ronald Reagan, and others.

Little wonder that many of us perceive the GOP as an essentially white-supremacist party.

that's right, Reagan signed it b/c there was a veto-proof majority backing it.


btw, I recorded this set.  msg me if you want a link to it.

BOS to Patty Griffin.

I'm just happy she didn't play "Anything's Possible" by Jonny Lang. :-X

Bonus track was Jeff Beck with Rod Stewart doing People Get Ready -- a version I really like, too bad the online stream omitted it.

I heard the whole set, but with the kids home for the day I decided to continue playing cards with my son rather than move over to the computer.  I made a point of explaining the significance of the "I've been to the mountain top" speech to them, and we even discussed the assassination a bit.  My boys are good solid liberal humanists so far.

Pride is one of U2's best songs... BOS for this live version.

Did Bono perform the factually correct version? I heard they sometimes correct their error of "Early morning, April 4" to "Early evening, April 4" on some live concerts.

what's odd about Bono's error is that early evening in Memphis is early morning the next day in Ireland. So if he'd said "early morning April 5".... he mighta got by with it
