I was just gonna post about whether AL would revive this tradition (Dave let it lapse in 2008 and of course last year he was already gone). But per the KFOG website, it's on for Monday.
-
'LNG just played the Moms Mabley version of "Abraham Martin & John" -- if AL plays it I'll plotz.
-
Pride is one of U2's best songs... BOS for this live version.

U2 live "Pride" to start.

one of my faves too!

I won't dock AL points for predictability. But I hope she dusts off Stevie Wonder's "Black Man" from SITKOL.
-
good speech fragments.
We Shall Overcome into a version by ... Toots? Jimmy? not sure.

This reggae "WSO" is cool -- last nite on KPOO the jazz show played multiple versions of this song.

Keep on Pushin'!
memory says it's in Curtis' Impressions era.
-
BOS Curtis/Impressions, "Keep on Pushin' "
-
Woo! Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions, "Keep on Pushin'"! Several of their songs would have worked here - "Choice of Colors," "This Is My Country," etc.

I'd love Sharon Jones/Dap-Kings fab cover of "This Land Is Your land", recently spotlighted on the Up in the Air sndtk.

With a bunch of white kids singing the refrain - now that's diversity!

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.
-
Stand!
AL's kind of taking an activist POV today it seems. Not that Dave diidn't...
-
Sam Cooke says it all
A Change Is Gonna Come

Dave's angle was a bit more pessimistic - "this is the struggle we are engaged in." Annalisa's is more optimisitc - "this is the struggle we've overcome." Not surprising that I throw my lot in with the pessimists.

indeed. But Tim Tebow obviously disagrees with you:

not recognizing this female vocal.

By all means: Patty Griffin! I haven't heard this song before, but I'm a big fan.
ETA: It's called "Up to the Mountain".

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

well, here's yer Stevie, but neither "Black Man" nor "The Crown".

Worth reminding everyone of who vocally opposed the MLK holiday: Jesse Helms, John McCain, Ronald Reagan, and others.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther_King,_Jr._Day
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.
-
wow, BOS to Nina Simone!
TANC: KPOO just played Ms Simone's orig of "Please Don't Let Me Me Misunderstood"
Followed by Stevie's "Black Man"

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
