What you sing, leaves you on the wings of song. Sing against death. Command the wildness of the city. Freedom to reject is the only freedom. Freedom to uphold is dangerous.

That's what I said when I left Detroit, my hometown, for the last time in 1992. I went on tour with the Grateful Dead that summer, as I had many summers before. Somehow my best friend and I ended up in Missoula, Montana. We lived there for a year before coming to Hawaii. I've crossed a few frontiers.
