Driving an 18 wheeler westbound on I-40 the weekend of the OKC bombing. Rolling into Flagstaff Arizona, Dawn's red-orange sun peaking over the cloudless horizon behind me. To Raise the Morning Star shouting from the speakers. And me. Ecstatic to be alive.

where did this album come from...

A brilliant writer, I'm glad people still find him

[@33Luger]

His trip to Nicaragua, back in the early 80's or late 70's I believe.

In his autobiography Ch 11, he describes a trip to Guatemala in 1983 as inspirations for Rocket Launcher and Dust & Diesel. Morningstar was inspired by Aboriginal Australian morning singing while looking over Toronto's night sky.
