Early morning, April 4...Shot rings out in the Memphis sky. Free at last, they took your life...

1. always wondered why he didn't say "early evening".

i mean, since when is 6:01pm "early morning"?
i'm all for artistic license, but i can't see an actual reason for this change; it's not like he needed it to rhyme.

well at least his heart is in the right place.
awesome song notwithstanding the slight goof....

2. I had been listening to that song for 20 years before I knew what that line meant.

Still just wow.

And it was probably morning where Bono was when it happened.

3. Right now, in Memphis, it's 10:36 PM, Sunday evening...

...and in Dublin, it's 4:36 AM, Monday morning.

6:01 PM Memphis = midnight in Dublin..."early morning."

5. Bonos mullet notwithstanding- this song always gives me goose bumps.
