Anybody catch the complete broadcast of Dr. Martin Luther King's seminal anti-war speech, "Beyond Vietnam", yesterday morning on NPR?
I listened to the whole thing, with chills and in rapt attention. The man's speaking voice was a musical instrument in the hands of a virtuoso. Measured, dynamic, with tempo and fluidity. And masterfully composed.
Its was ahead of it's time then, and inarguably prophetic in today's.
On the other end of the spectrum, how 'bout this fucking ray of sunshine?
P.S. Heath Ledger. He gone!
