  • Another Kind of Boundary: the Hallways of Menomonie High School   

    Drumming, an Uncivilizing Reverberation At 17, when Colt 4 broke up, I immediately joined a second band. We were disorganized and unpopular, but our singer had a teenage superpower – access to his grandmother’s remote cabin in the woods – and after high school basketball games, classmates drove into the country and trudged through the…
