All this AT&T stuff, the possible reinstatement of the draft, etc, etc.
It's getting scary guys. The times they are a changin'......
Stand up for what you believe in. We can't let our rights be taken from us.

I first heard this song in London, 2 weeks after he returned from Iraq and he rocked the Jazz Cafe In Camden for 3 nights. Here are the words to his last album Yell Fire:
Michael Franti Yell Fire Lyrics
A revolution never come with a warning
A revolution never sends you an omen
A revolution just arrived like the morning
Ring the alarm we come to wake up the snoring
They tellin' you to worry about the future
They tellin' you to never worry about the torture
They tellin' you that you'll never see the horror
Spend it all today and we will bill you tomorrow
Three piece suits and bank accounts in Bahamas
Wall street crime will never send you to the slammer
Tell all the children in the arms of their mummas
The F-15 is a homocide bomber
TV commercials for a popping pill culture
Drug companies circling like a vulture
An Iraqi babies with a G.I. Joe father
Ten years from now is anybody gonna bother?
Yell Fire, yo, yo, yo
Here we come here we come
Fire, yo, yo , yo, yo
Revolution a comin'
Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo
Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo
Everyone addicted to the same nicotine
Everyone addicted to the same gasoline
Everyone addicted to a technicolour screen
Everybody tryin' to get their hands on the same green
From the banks of the river to the banks of the greedy
All the riches taken back by needy
We come from the country and we come from the city
You play us on the record, you can play us on the CD
All the shit you've given us is fertilizer
The seeds that we planted you can never brutalize them
Tell the corporation they can never globalize it
Like Peter Tosh said Legalize it
Girls and boys hear the bass and treble
Rumble in the speakers and it make you wanna rebel
Throw your hands up, take it to another level
And you can never, ever, ever make a deal with the devil
Yell Fire, yo, yo, yo
Here we come here we come
Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo
Revolution a comin'
Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo
Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo
Peace

That was amazing! THANK YOU!
Do they have an album? Is it available on Itunes or anything?

Out of fairness to both sides if this means war is necessary then it's time to re evaluate what is really important in American life...Canada incuded.
Honestly though...don't take what I have to say at face value either.
Contrary to popular belief I carry respect for those that oppose me which is why I press the envelope with them sometimes on order to hold things up to the light for my own satisfaction and conviction.
I want to be wrong, but I can't support killing. I just cant. There has to be another way.

The Yell Fire album was written after a 2 week long visit to Baghdad and Israel and then another visit back a year later. He also filmed a documentary called I Know I'm Not Alone. Check it out, I'm one of the mods on the forum board.

Call out the instigator
Because there's something in the air
We've got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolutions here
And you know it's right
And you know that it's right
We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together now
I would love for it to happen, but honestly, the AT&T and Draft issues aren't new. My guess is that this will all be a non-issue in two weeks, and that shows the sad state of our Union. Here's wishing I'm wrong...
Stop by:

Direct Democracy.
It's not totally worthless. Use it only to destroy, not create. Remove bad laws, bad politicians, and bad governmental constructs via individual votes?
???
nobody pays attention to any of this. next week when britney spears gets in another car wreck or lindsay lohan checks out of rehab, that will be front page news and this at&t and draft stuff will all be forgotten.
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
nice man....a tight and simple groove... yea, I was diggin it.
Liked the protester sign "I can't believe I'm still protesting this shit" and the Peter Tosh reference.
I would have done one handed 16th notes on the hi-hat at that tempo..but hey... bla bla tech talk...
cool vid

I liked that sign also, I'll have to use it at the next peace protest march here in DC slated for Sept 15th. Sometimes it feels weird that I'm still protest such prolonged events. I also like the "Granny for Peace Brigade...No Pre-emptive War" sign. the My favorite sign is the
"Fighting Wars for Peace,
Is like Fucking for Virginity".
At the shows he emphazies that Peter Tosh reference even though he doesn't smoke anymore. Yes the bare foot wonder, 6ft 6 above sea level he known to his fans, "Spearits".
You must be a drummer, well if your tech suggestion means more up tempo from the drums, well I think he had when they first played it back in 6/29/04. However, in the recording process done in part in Kingston, Jamaica it was changed to to it's current format. Love the song but I've heard it live at least 50 times live now but a new album is due early 2008. Yell Fire was more reggae this next one will be more rock.
They'll be in Canada but out west Vancouver, Edmonton and some other places out there but they'll be here with another east coast swing in Sept/Oct after a trip to Australia.

SMASHING PUMPKINS LYRICS
"United States"
Tired eyes
Closed for days
There's no regret
'Cause there's no place
I don't know
What I believe
But if I feel safe
What do I need
A home
A home
A home
Revolution
Revolution
Revolution blues
What will they do
Revolution
Revolution
Revolution blues
What will they do to me
What will they do to me
What will they do to me
What will they do to me
Dulcet tongues
Whisper fast
The future yearns
Right now's the past
Rouse me soon
The end draws nigh
Who's side are you on
Your blood you cannot buy
Revolution
Revolution
Revolution blues
What will they do
Revolution
Revolution
Revolution blues
What will they do to you
Well I
I feel alright
So tonight
I got to ask you why
Why deny it
It's no surprise
I've got to survive
Freedom shines the light ahead
I'll lead the last charge to bed
I said my last rights
I don't have to run scared no more
Fight
I wanna fight
I wanna fight a revolution
Tonight
I wanna fight
I wanna fight a revolution
Tonight
At the light
At the light
Do you wanna watch me die
Let me be something good
Let me prove something real like I should
Let me embrace every single living thing
Let me be every single moment I ever misunderstood
Peace
Earle

If real people like us get angry enough, then it will be time for a revolution. IT'S time to overrule our leaders!!!
Now we just need EVERYONE on our side and pull that wool from over the sheeps' eyes so they can finally see what's REAL and what's not!
It goes way deeper than AT&T... I hope you already knew that.
Either way, I am in! Let's meet up if u r serious ppl! If you can't even do that, then you can't even hope for revolution.
Okay, when the empire falls, there will be a huge power vacuum. All of us anarcho-syndicalists, anarchists, and socialists will have to stand together!
(notice that I am joking here... only to make a few points) but.. really... if you are interested in meeting up... hit me back.
hehe what are you so scared of? relax dude
There's a reason they keep talking about the draft.
It's to soften people up the idea. Everything for a reason.
Keep in mind they want to fire up the draft....and badly.

Who are "they"? It isn't the generals or the politicians or the citizenry. "They" must be someone else.
its funny how you really believe your own sense of reality and the rest of us are just crazy for not seeing things the way you do.
its like you are speaking at us. like the way it really is.
but in reality, its just your opinion.
Lockheed, Boeing, and any other big wartime manufacturer/supplier...they're all rubbing their hands together in anticipation.

It has to be unanimous or it will never work.
And most importantly, if you succeed, what next?
Oh yes, I know how deep in goes.
Scared of what is to become of this country and you should be too.

I know exactly what they are planning to do, just not when. Actually they don't know when either. It's touch and go on the time line.
