Good stuff-even from a UM grad.

He's the frontman for the Decemberists...so I'm told:

He might not have shined in high school, but he conveys his ideas well and has become a very good writer.

Talked to a couple of parents and Helena High grads and they thought it was a very good presentation by Colin. I haven't had a chance to read his book yet, but he definitely has a way with words in his music. He also has a very talented sister, Maile, whom has written several books herself.
