"...Early morning, April 4 Shot rings out in the Memphis sky Free at last, they took your life They could not take your pride..."
Love this song, love what they wanted to say, love the band ,of course...
Back in the late 80s, U2 was touring in Arizona and they were getting death threads because of that song and their campaign for MLK´s day...The FBI thought one was really serious and if Bono sang Pride(in the name of love) he was gonna shot him!!! They played the show with the FBI around...
When Bono was singing the third verse... "...Early morning..." he just closed his eyes and went on...when he opened the eyes..there stood Adam, the bassit, in front of him...
"...One man come in the name of love... One man come and go... One 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... "
Yes, I wonder...what more in the name of love?
