![]() I was not a communist, but I felt it was wrong, so I used the language of the scripture to describe the situation: in the howling wind comes a stinging rain see it driving nails into souls on the tree of pain from the firefly, a red orange glow, see the faces of fear running scared in the valley below, bullet the blue sky a locust wind comes a rattle and hum Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome. It did bother me that this was being sanctioned by religious people and brutalizing of this movement, this communist movement. I did actually, I was walking the same trip, I did see a memorable piece of graffiti, it said, "fuck Jesus." And I went, "oh, that's a bit strong, is it?" They said: "No! That's just Jesus, he lives around the corner." It upset me as a person who read the scriptures to think that Christians in America were supporting this kind of thing, this kind of proxy war because of these communists.

We went out into the hills and maybe that was irresponsible, I don't know, because we're in the middle of a war zone. We strapped my feelings to the song "Bullet the Blue Sky." I've been there it was an American movement that were… wonderful people who were offering solace to refugees from the war in El Salvador. When I explained to Edge what I've been through in El Salvador, he was able to – with a nod to Jimi Hendrix actually – try and put some of that fear and loathing into his guitar solo. They have an ability to express inexpressible thoughts.

I see things that are very hard to explain. ![]() I just want to go, I just want to see for myself.
