What More in the Name of Love?

I've been lazy the past few days and haven't had a chance to post yet but I thought I needed to today.

This day in 1968, a great life was senselessly brought to an end by ignorance. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated on the balcony of a Memphis motel.

I felt that I should post something today to the memory of him and while time is short, I'd just like to say that he was a brilliant mind that wanted nothing more than harmony and peace through peaceful means. He was not a bigot or a racist as most bigots and racists will claim. He was a loving man who wanted ALL people to be free.

But as I said, time is short so I decieded to just post the lyrics to a GREAT son by U2 that is about this great man. Read it. Enjoy.

Pride (In The Name Of Love)
by U2

One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come, he to justify
One man to overthrow

In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love

One man caught on a barbed wire fence
One man he resist
One man washed on an empty beach.
One man betrayed with a kiss

In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love

(nobody like you...)

Early morning, April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride

In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love...
