Calling, calling, the moon is running red
I don’t think even Bono knows what this song is about. The lyrics sound like they come from the book of Revelation…
Rev 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
…but in some obscure way. Keeping in mind the well known story of the band losing all the lyrics right as they went into the recording studio then this might have been something slapped together quickly. I still like the song though. If you had to understand U2 lyrics to be a fan then I think they would have 90% less fans than they do (at least).
Speaking of fire…
My “Man + Chain Saw vs Tree” project is nearing the end. For those of you who don’t remember, we lost a 25’ pine tree to sheer line winds about a month ago and I have been chain sawing it down since that time. We have had many fires like this one and probably have 2 or 3 more to go before all the pine wood is gone. It burns very hot and the coals remain hot until the next morning. So much so that raking them and then throwing more wood on usually results in the fire picking back up in full force. The son and I are having a lot of fun ridding ourselves of all the wood from the tree.
