NO MORE BACKWARD THINKING, TIME FOR THINKING AHEAD: In honor of Martin Luther King Day, the local station I listen to most often (WDAS-FM) has been playing solely songs that focus on civil rights and/or racial relations. Which calls to mind the question, what is the best song with that subject? Among the songs the station has played this morning, my personal favorite happens to be "Wake Up Everybody" by Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes.
The song that might well be at the top of my list would be Stevie Wonder's powerful allegorical tune "Superstition."
"When you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way"
