Details:
When I was a child my grandmother would sing little songs to me in Danish. They were songs of the Viking troubadours that told of superhuman characters with great strength and sense of justice. These were my first luminaries. My first friends were Shoshone Indian and farmer kids in rural Nevada. My mother, a single parent, moved to Reno and became a blackjack dealer, so that''s where I grew up. A fast freight train and a river, wild in the winter, ran through the middle of town.
There was no speed limit. Bars, prostitution and gambling were wide open around the clock, and as a youth I was free, energetic and adventuresome, and not very responsive to authority figures.
In college I acquired an anthropological perspective, read the literary classics and learned what I did not want to do with my life. During the Viet Nam war, I moved to Berkeley, where I began to write and sing. Since then I have explored the continent from Tuktoyuktuk in the Canadian Northwest Territory, south to Dangriga in Belize, from San Francisco to New York and all places in between in search of good HIGH GROUND.
If Lee Harvey Oswald met Che Guevara in the alley there would be a conflict. The philosophies of the two would differ in that Oswald actually liked JFK (and killed no one, ever) and Che, was a true enemy of the United States. No matter, we killed them both. I look at stories like this.
Camus worked through resolute existentialism and into the loneliness of atheism before he evolved to the knowledge of man''s purpose. I write from this point of view.
I am the lover, the actor and the contemplative.
