I have bootlegs from Popmart and Elevation where Bono sings "early evening" and "early morning", so to him, I don't think it really matters. Bono knows how much he loves and respects Dr. King. I DO check my facts and I really don't think cheap shots at others for no good reason at all befits someone who calls themselves a U2 fan. We need to elevate our reasoning.
