Shortly after the incident, the members of The Devil Wants Peace were interviewed. The interviewer asked, "John, is it true that 당신 overcame your fear of water before 당신 saved Allen?" John replied, "It's true." The interviewer asked, "Is it true that the rest of 당신 were surprised when John swam so quickly?" Stan said, "Yes. I knew that his girlfriend, Caryn, taught him how to swim, but I didn't know she taught him to swim so well." Peter said, "I was impressed at how 메리다와 마법의 숲 he was, too." Allen said, "Yeah. I'll never forget what he did for me." John said, "Thank Caryn. She's the one who taught me how to swim." Caryn saw the interview on the news, and she was very touched. Later, John said to Caryn, "Thank 당신 for everything 당신 did for me this summer." She said, "You're welcome." He said, "Your 사랑 for me is what motivated 당신 to help me, and in the end, I was able to help my mates. 사랑 conquers fear. I truly believe that."

A few days later, Lenny called the members of The Devil Wants Peace to a meeting. He said, "Boys, I've scheduled a tour for you." John asked, "When does it start?" Lenny said, "Ten days from now." John said, "That sounds good to me. What about 당신 all?" Allen said, "That's fine with me." Peter said, "Me too." Stan said, "Me three." Lenny said, "Then, it's settled." They were all excited to start touring again. At one point during the tour, John spotted his mother. He was walking on the 거리 with Peter at the time. "Hide me!" John shouted. Peter looked confused. "Hide you?" He said. John said,...

It was June 19, 1991. The rock band, The Devil Wants Peace, had just released their 초 album, Peace is the Way. Not only were they celebrating that occasion, they were also celebrating John Wilde's twentieth birthday. Allen, Peter, Stan, Ben, Lenny, and John's uncle, Bob were all there. Suddenly, the phone rang. John went into the other room to answer it. "Hello?" He answered. The voice said, "Happy Birthday, John." It was his mother. John said, "I know 당신 want something, Mother. The last time 당신 said that to me, I was eighteen." She said, "So, you're a famous rock 별, 스타 now." He said,...

Surviving Against the Odds
That night, I had a dream. John Lennon paid me another visit. He said, "John, I came to warn 당신 that you're still in danger." I was confused. "Danger?" I said. "What are 당신 talking about?" He said, "Pastor Thomas still wants 당신 dead. 당신 need your mates now 더 많이 than ever." I said, "Okay." I woke up and was troubled. I had bunked with Stan that night. I heard him asking if I was all right, but I was fixated on my dream and couldn't respond. "John!" He shouted. I responded with "Huh?" He said, "I said, 'Are 당신 all right?'" I said, "Yeah. I'm just fine. Why?" But...

The Interview
One day, we were asked to go to Devil's Garden for our first 질문 and 답변 interview. I was hesitant about that, because I was treated poorly in Devil's Garden. Peter asked, "Do 당신 think we should do it?" I said, "I don't know. I'll have to think about it." I really didn't like the idea of facing my past. That night, I had a dream. John Lennon and my grandmother paid me a visit. We were walking in the forest behind Uncle Bob's house. I said, "John, Grandma, I don't know what to do. Should I go to Devil's Garden?" John said, "I think 당신 should go. 당신 have nothing to...

On the Road
After the release of our debut album, In a Flash, we decided to start touring. We got Uncle Bob's friend, Lenny, to be our manager. When we did our first live show, it was exhilarating. I turned out to be the only one who ever performed in front of an audience, (if my mean school mates at the park in Devil's Garden counted). I wasn't sure who was 더 많이 nervous, Peter 또는 Stan. I told them, "If 당신 want my advice, when 당신 sing, focus on the people in the back. It should radiate from them to the people in the front row. If everybody's looking at 당신 with a bored expression, either...

Starting Out
After we formed our band, we decided on what to name the band. We finally settled on The Devil Wants Peace. It was ironic and shouted out to rock haters. We then decided to start recording our first album. Uncle Bob's friend, Ben, agreed to be our producer. After the recording sessions, I noticed that I was having some pain in my right side. Stan asked, "John, are 당신 all right?" I said, "I'm just fine. Why?" He said, "You look like you're in pain." I said, "Yeah, I'm having a little pain in my right side. I guess it's where I fell down the stairs this morning." He said, "Look,...

Ready to Rock
One day, I was strumming on my guitar. The phone rang. Uncle Bob answered it. He then said, "John, it's for you." I answered the phone. It was Peter. He asked, "Can 당신 and Allen come over?" I said, "I can. I don't know about Allen." Peter said, "If 당신 can, bring your guitars. I have a surprise for you." I said, "Okay." I went over to Allen's, and he was able to come. Allen asked, "What's the occasion?" I said, "Peter said that he had a surprise for us." Allen said, "I like surprises." We arrived at Peter's, and there was another guy with him. I jokingly asked, "What's Frank...

Graduation
The 다음 day, I graduated from high school. Before the ceremony, I talked with Allen, Peter, and Liz. I asked, "Are 당신 all ready?" They all said, "Yes." Peter asked, "Are 당신 ready?" I said, "Ready as I'll ever be!" During the ceremony, we all made animal noises, even though we were told not to. Maybe it was immature, but Mr. Ross was just asking for it when he said, "Don't make animal noises during graduation." He should have known that's what everyone would do. During his speech, he said, "You've been waiting for this for the past seventeen years, 또는 eighteen for some of you."...

Sometimes 당신 Have to Stand Up to Authority
One day, I was sitting in a tree. I just felt like doing it for some reason. A few 분 later, Allen and Peter came by. The original reason for them coming was so that Peter could show me his skills on the bass. When he saw me in the tree, he asked, "What are 당신 doing, mate?" I said, "Sitting in a tree." Allen asked, "Why are 당신 sitting in a tree?" I said, "I just felt like it." I admit that it was quite fun, at least until a bird pooped on me. I said, "Okay, that's disgusting. I'm coming down now." Unfortunately, I slipped coming down. Allen...

Getting Into Mischief
All too soon, it was time to start school again. Allen and I had a couple of classes together, but the one I remember, that I wish I could forget, is English class. Our teacher, Mr. Goodman, was an alcoholic. He would sneak alcohol in a 우유 carton and drink it behind his desk. He didn't really teach, which is why we didn't like him. The only thing Allen and I liked about this class was our friend, Peter. Peter could be best described as "no genius, but smart." He was best known for his Liverpoolian accent. The girls would describe him as "not as charming as the Beatles,...

The 다음 day, it was June 19, 1988, my seventeenth birthday. Allen and Liz picked out a card. Well, Liz picked out the card. Allen just signed it along with Liz. Allen said, "We don't know what 당신 have 또는 don't have, so the card was the only option." I said, "I'm fine with that. I don't expect anything fancy." Uncle Bob then came in. He said, "I've brought 당신 a present on my way home." I asked, "What is it?" He said, "Close your eyes, and don't peek." I closed my eyes. A few moments later, he said, "Okay, now, open...

Finding a Way to Unwind
Later that day, I was walking down the 거리 with Allen. He did most of the talking. I mostly listened. He then said, "John, you're a little quiet. What's wrong?" I said, "Nothing." He said, "I know something's wrong." I told him about my nightmare and how it forced me to get up early. Allen said, "That's a terrible nightmare." I said, "I tell myself that I'm fine, but I'm not sure if I am." He said, "You're obviously traumatized from almost being killed." I said, "Yeah." He said, "You know what 당신 need, a way to relax. Have 당신 ever tried camping?" I said, "No." He...

Why Do 당신 Expect Me to Help You? Did 당신 Forget What 당신 Have Done to Me?
It was summer, and I was sitting outside with Allen, talking about nothing. Just then, Uncle Bob called for me to come inside. When I came in, he said, "Pastor Thomas is on the phone. He asked to speak with you." I said, "Tell him I died." Uncle Bob said, "I don't think he'd fall for that." Reluctantly, I picked up the phone. "Hello," I said. Pastor Thomas said, "Hello, John. Is that you?" I said, "Yeah. Who's to know?" He said, "I'm sorry to bother you, but I need your help. Lately, I have been having trouble keeping...

First 일 of School
It was my first 일 at Redshore High School. 크리스마스 Vacation was officially over. I was a little nervous about my new school mates, fearing that I wouldn't be accepted, given my treatment in Devil's Garden. The kids of Redshore were friendly to me, 또는 so it seemed. At the end of the day, some of them said, "Hey, John, slide down the rails of the staircase." I was afraid that I would hurt myself, and I initially refused. One of them said, "Come on! It'll make 당신 cool." Of course, I wanted to be cool, I mean, who wouldn't? I attempted it, but I unfortunately slipped off...

Introduction
It was my first 일 in Redshore, California. It was December 26, 1987. Because of all the abuse I was taking in Devil's Garden, I decided to live with my uncle, Bob. Uncle Bob worked at the local bar, Alien Slim. It was usually just me in the house. Uncle Bob never married, never had children, and didn't even have a girlfriend. He never had pets, either, for he was allergic. Luckily, I didn't 옮기기 to Redshore empty-handed. I brought my 기타 and my extensive record collection with me. Thanks to Pastor Thomas, I no longer had my dog, Beatle. My only solace was my record collection,...

Go Cut Your Hair!
One day, John decided to go to the park to spark change in Devil's Garden. He thought that maybe his plan would work in the park. It obviously wasn't going to work at the church. With his mother's permission, he went to the park with his guitar. He stood near the statue of the town's founder and sang a song that he wrote called "Brainwashed 의해 Corruption." Unfortunately, the song did not get any praise. His school mates, save for Randall, began throwing rocks at him. They even shouted, "Go cut your hair!" John begged them to stop. He cried out, "This is not a message of hatred!...
