A definite "MUST HAVE" for all Michael Franti fans. This treasure gives you an inside look at where Michael has come from and where he is going. Loaded with beautiful images and inspiring and thought provoking word, this book will give you an closer glimpse of Michael Franti. I loved seeing samples of his hand written lyric sheets.
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
For Franti fans wanting a good way coffee table book or postable lyric for their home, office, car, or anywhere this is a good buy. While the dvd footage of shows isn't the best for die-hard fans, its pretty good. I'd recommend going to a show for a good time, not necessarily watching the dvd to get a good feel for franti and spearhead. Good images into their life, and great showings of sometimes how songs can be scribbled up or even written on napkins.
This book made any excellent present and is a must for any Spearhead fan. The pictures and info are very informative and the live DVD a real bonus.
If you are lucky enought to be or becoming a Michael Franti fan, this book celebrates his poetic muse. The words that come through him stand on their own as works of art. As Michael says, "every single soul is a poem written on the back of God's hand".
My “world-view” supports this as the funniest book I have ever read. The cover...
