I don't think they had any dark intentions. There were just soldiers playing with us really. I've been shot at a few times as it happens. It's very unromantic, it's like spitting. The sound of gunfire is out in the open – you're not in closed streets.
There was some shots fired over our heads and things like that. I don't think it was that dangerous where we were. 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. But I'm blessed because I'm part of the U2 group and they're really good. That words, perhaps if I was a better writer, maybe I could just write journalism. I see things that are very hard to explain. I just want to go, I just want to see for myself. That's why I ended up in central America during the problems there in El Salvador and even in Nicaragua.
That's why I ended up during the famine in Ethiopia. I always want to go and see things for myself.
