Hey World–Are you out there?
By Janet Go | September 8, 2009
To kick off Labor Day weekend, I attended a concert by Michael Franti & Spearhead at the Jazz Aspen Snowmass Festival. Thousands of people filled the grass in front of the Snowmass main festival stage, and a little past 8 p.m., Michael & Spearhead burst onto the stage. For two hours, he performed non-stop and the audience would never know that he was recovering from surgery to repair a ruptured appendix. His singing, playing guitar, dancing, and stage presence was as dynamic and impressive as ever. While in the hospital, he heard that his album “All Rebel Rockers” was his first Top 40 hit. His modern soul music present significant messages for the world. Listen up!
After the concert, I went back stage to meet Michael. His mother, whom I met on a South America cruise earlier this year, arranged for me to have a comp ticket and backstage pass. I gave him photos of his mother and I in Rio de Janeiro and he was warm and friendly, genuinely glad to meet me. Here is our picture.
