Happy MLK Day.
The clock radio woke me up today playing Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth" - stop children, what's that sound, hey everybody look what's going down. That made me very happy.
Later I plan to dig out Public Enemy's "By The Time I Get To Arizona."
I try to watch, listen to, or read The Speech every year (The "I Have A Dream" one). Every year it makes me cry. Yes, even that year I watched the Huxtables on my TV watch it on their TV.
Here's I Have A Dream (He even namechecks little ol' Lookout Mountain, Tennessee.)
I also love:
I Have Been To The Mountaintop
and:
His essay on poverty.
