Can you do an analogy to Blood on Blood?
I was thinking about doing that... I'm just not really sure as to how to go about it...

Any Ideas?
blood is used as courage in the song, courage for Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett when they were both on the same side. Having a blood brother does give comfort and courage. Guilt, when Pat Garrett has to choose doing the "right" thing over turning in his "blood brother". Finally, fear at the end as they meet up and Billy the Kid realizes that it is the blood brother who is the most likely to find him.

Just a quick idea.

I'll keep thinking
