I agree Dave. I was 16 and a sophomore in high school when I purchased Steppen Wolf 7 and first listened to Renegade. The Iron Curtain was always in the news along with the fear of nuclear war. If you paid any attention to world events the meaning of the song was obvious.

My Interpretation

You are absolutely right. Any one living then was under the threat of being vaporized in a mushroom cloud. The threat was REAL\r\nThe song is a tribute to all those who tried and failed as well as a salute to those who survived.\r\n\r\n
