This man could have been a big big star but he didn't sell out like other people have. I'm bit lost for words when it comes to explaining Michael but saying he's a living legend comes close. There really is no BS with him, it's all good vibes and love.
Thanks for posting.
2024 and FOREVER 🥰❤ such a timeless song!
RIP Harry Belafonte. Your Hole in the Bucket always brings me here.
Most chilled out song ever created in history
I've been deeply lucky to see Michael Franti and Spearhead a few times in my life. One time in particular stands out in my mind when he was touring in Melbourne, he did a signing at a record store. He was giving a hug to each of his fans, whoever they were that came up. I was at the end of a line that stretched out and around the block. When I got there I got a hug of this huge dreadlocked and exhausted guy with a gentle smile on his face. This guy just radiates good vibes. His music, his personality, his politics all resonate. Total legend.
2022 and I still love Love LOVE this.

(Money Money Money Money Nothin But
Money)
I work 9 to 5 but it starts in the P.M.
and I love the sunrise so I step out in the A.M.
the street is black and shiny from the early
nightly rainin'
the glory of the light it brings evaporation
morning's fresh oxygen cleanest
I take a deep hit help my mind stay the greenest
I'm already wake so I'm not drinkin' coffee
don't want to cigarrette, 'cause it's a form of slavery
walk into the store 'cause I need a few items
the sun heats the blood like a hit of vitamins
needa buy some food and some 'poo for my dreads
can't remember why but I need a spool of thread
Man with dirty dreads, steps around the comer
he asks me for a dime, a nickel or a quarter
I don't have any change so I'm steppin' along
and as I'm walkin' past he sings to me a song...
There's a whole in the bucket dear liza, dear
liza...(repeat)
The day is pickin' up cause I'm hummin' his song
the buses and the people all keep movin' along
to the shopkeeper I say "was'sup?"
and I'm thinkin' about the man who's holdin' up the cup
I pay for all the stuff and get a pocketful of change
should I give it to the man's the question in my brain
What's gonna happen if I give the man a dime?
I don't want to pay for anotha brotha's wine
What's gonna happen if I give the man a quarter?
will he find a dealer and try to place an order?
what's gonna happen if I give the man a nickel
will he buy some food or some pork that's been pickled?
I'm not responsible for the man's depression
how can I find compassion in the midst of recession?
How come all these questions keep fuckin' with my head
and I still can't rememba why I need a spool of thread.
There's a whole in the bucket dear liza, dear
liza...(repeat)
He's starin' in my eyes just as I'm walkin' past
I'm tryin to avoid him cause I know he's gonna ask
me about the coinage that is in my pocket
But I don't know if I should put it in his bucket
walk right past him to think about it more
back at the crib I'm openin' up the door
a pocketful of change it don't mean a lot to me
my cup is half full but his is empty
I put back on my cap and I start headin' back
I reach into my pocket and I have a heart attack
well as I'm diggin' deep I scream "oh no!"
there's nothin' in the pocket but a great big hole
While I was busy thinkin' if he would buy smack
the jingle in my pocket it slipped through the cracks
no one has the change and it's fuckin' up my head
But now I no the reason why I had to buy the thread!
There's a whole in the bucket dear liza, dear
liza...(repeat)
🙏🔥🙏
Powerful.
It's actually good, I like it ;D
Michael Franti is my Bob Dylan.
i need a dose of bleach
Gil Scott Heron is God.

College days...
The Godmachine is corrupt...trust you yourself you are
Whats gonna happen if i give the man a nickle? Will he buy some food or some pork thats been pickled?................Seriously, who wrote these lyrics?? Here's mine
I really want some cheerios, i don't have to go far
It's raining outside, so i jumped in the car
Got a '93 civic, the bodyworks a mess
Bought it off a man that was wearing a dress
His real name was Frank, but he said "Call me Brenda"
"It only needs a respray, it wont cost much to mend her"
help
Brilliant. Did you see me in the White House? Fuck yeah. Do you see what the fuck is there now? Fuck yeh. How fucked is that? Fucked yeh.
