7. thanks for posting this, ClayZ! Tried to watch it last night at another

That is a very cool song!

8. Michael Franti is a major mensch
... not to mention a terrific musician.

I'm pleased (and somewhat surprised) that he is behind this tune. I hope it turns many new people on to his wonderful music and message.

9. I've been thinking of Franti lately.
Especially this song which seems so damn apt right now.

11. Embarrassing technical question.
How do you download the song from michaelfranti.com? I registered and got a quicktime screen. I can listen to the song, but I don't see how to save it other than paying $35 for the quicktime upgrade. I would like to save it to iTunes and add it to a playlist. Am I missing something?

Great vid, thanks for posting!

16. Franti said, at one point, that he doesn't endorse
politicians -- only messages. I'm glad to see him behind Obama, great song!

17. We had Michael Franti and Spearhead at our venue in December...
and they played this song.

I could help but get pumped up for the inauguration...and I found myself dancing stage left.
