Why does Bono sing Early morning, April Four in “Pride”, when MLK was shot in the early evening?
Bono says he screwed up. He sometimes sings ‘Early evening, April 4.’ The song’s origins came during the War Tour in a sound check in Hawaii. The original lyrics were anti-Reagan with ‘What more in the name of love’ also being a featured lyric according to The Edge. The song evolved into one about martyrs and those who create them.
