And stops at midnight. That was life. And so and I remember that there is a transportation industry in America was striking. And then, you know, these guys were gleefully like, oh, my God, you know, the capitalist system is crumbling. The bourgeois will fall and communism will succeed. That was the propaganda on TV.

and they were showing how the americans were out on the street with the little signs and i look at my dad i'm like well hold on first again so in america i can go on the street with a sign and yelled and I'm not happy and nobody's shooting me. Nobody's arresting me and I don't disappear. That's how that works. I need to get the hell out of here. Right?

And the bewildering part, like he didn't understand what I was asking. Right. Because they were so, they were born into that fear-based system. Yes. Like they were telling me like, kid, shut up. You're going to get arrested. We'll disappear. Like hyper-normalization for them.

that was completely normal to them so they were broken souls born into this system they never knew anything else right so they were that experiment the fleas in the jar that can jump out you know i don't know if you know that experience you put fleas in the jar and put a lid on it and they try to jump out and keep hitting the lid and after that you take off the lid and they will never jump right

Because they learned that that's the lid. And so it's kind of like that. Broken souls that couldn't even imagine. When I was telling to people like, oh, I'm going to America and I'm going to play rock music. I'm going to tour the world. People thought that you're crazy. Like that was ridiculous to them. Like what? You're insane. That's not possible. We don't have passports.

That's just not a thing. So I never had a doubt that I'm going to do it. And well, obviously it's proven that I did. But that was basically... growing up there and 89-ish when it started to crumble and eventually collapsed. And once we had passports, then everybody's like, okay, let's go. Wow.
