Book Reviews of Food for the Masses: Portrait and Lyrics
Book Review: I love Michael Franti
Summary: 5 Stars
If you love Michael Franti you'll love this book. It has tons of pictures from touring early on when he was playing bass with the beatnigs to right before he came out with the yell fire album. It has all the lyrics to mostly everything he has done,(except for some imports)then it comes with a dvd of some live shows. You will love this book as I do because there isn't very much reading to do Food For the Masses: Michael Franti-Portraits and Lyrics
Summary of Food for the Masses: Portrait and Lyrics
Lyrics from Michael Franti's song, Bomb the World , written in the aftermath of September 11th, have found their way onto protest signs and T-shirts all over the world. "You can bomb the world to pieces, but you can't bomb it into peace."Michael Franti's song-poems evolved from youthful rage to a thoughtful, soulful voice for social justice and peace. Franti's early '90s work with Spearhead dove headfirst into the darkness, mixing up Curtis Mayfield and Bob Marley, Gil Scott-Heron and Scarface. By 1999, he retreated from the major label treadmill to re-center his music and politics, and returned the following year as an organizer and cultural worker. As an activist, he raised his voice against the death penalty, media monopolization, and globalization.
Stay Human, released in 2001, was a statement on justice and survival as well as on the political, social and human faces of incarceration. His "Power to the Peaceful" annual event in San Francisco is a beacon for more than 50,000 attendees. In both popular music and social activism, Franti has never been more relevant or influential. He is also the director and producer of the award-winning documentary, I Know I'm Not Alone.
