What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "I would rather be free in my mind, and be locked up in a prison cell, than to be a coward and not be able to say what I want." in the context of "Radio Interview, May 24 1999 http://www.geocities.jp/bobbby_b/mp3/F_07_3.MP3" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
