I posted this on FB too, but it's really amazing. Gary Byrd was a NYC deejay and he collaborated with Stevie Wonder (who also produced) on this black-history rap. A huge hit in the UK in 1983, pretty much unknown here. We ALL wear "The Crown"!

We Shall Overcome, by Toots I think.  Good one from last year's set.


I remember an episode of the show "HOT L Baltimore" when the hotel staff wanted to strike, and one woman, who was supposed to be Puerto Rican, I think, thought the words were "We shall come over..."  despite the awesomeness of that little joke, I think the show lasted one season.


I didn't think anyone but me remembered that show -- you must've been 6 years old when it was on!

heh, I was a little older than that.  but I wonder if it's around on DVD..?  The main characters included two hookers and a gay couple!

Here's Norman Lear talking about the show:

spacing out, correcting crappy tests while watching MSNBC, when suddenly they show a clip of MLK doing his last speech.  I remember the replay, wait for the commercial break, then tune in KFOG, to hear the clip of MLK's last speech.  TANC and powerful stuff indeed.  I really miss him, and I didn't appreciate him like I do now.  I always liked him, and was always inspired (hard not to be), but his words still resonate so deeply.

Damn, this RFK clip is still amazing.

U2's live "Pride" was inevitable, I guess.

In the live version, does U2 correct the factually incorrect line on the studio version, "Early morning, April 4"?

I thought they corrected it on one live recording, not sure if it was this one.
