8. Shame on me. I didn't know that.

I'm an avid listener of music, but I very slow to catch on to the band members and album titles.

You can bomb the world to pieces, but you can't bomb it into peace. He's another genius, like Herron.

Franti is awesome!

6. So weird... I have heard my husband singing this

I had no idea this was what it was. Very ageless.

7. Very Cool. I'd never seen this video before.

Thanks for posting it. :hippie:

10. Listened to the CD today, Very loud.

The cut "Music and politics" sounds like Gil Scott-Heron.

Powerfull

I like this one too: http://www.amazon.com/Home-Spearhead/dp/B000002TPW/sr=1-2/qid=1166150680/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/102-0027583-8760944?ie=UTF8&s=music

Piece -o- Peace to you brother. :smoke:

11. Wow.

I discovered Michael Franti relatively recently via his song, "Yell Fire!", but didn't know a thing about his earlier history.

I'm an even bigger fan now!

:loveya:

12. Got some Big Weather coming your way?

15. Yep. I'm on a generator now.

Trees down. But I'm ready. I have my monster generator in the back of my old 55 Chevy pickup. I just drive it up to the house and crank it up. I'm used to living without the benefit of power.

13. Ironic that the video was shown on TV.

:rofl:

14. The Beatnigs recorded it in 1988

Michael Franti's earlier project The Beatnigs recorded it in 1988.
Both versions are great.

[Gregorian]

16. I remember that. A much edgier sound.

It had a lot more anger to it.
