Hello, Bonjour



I went to see Michael Franti and Spearhead last night, and they opened with this song. I debated whether I would go up until last week. I kept thinking that, if Obama didn't win, I wouldn't be able to face the anger and despair (which is what I know I would have been feeling.) As it was, it was joyful and energetic.

There were lots of kids in the audience (given that it was a school night and kind of late.) I was impressed when, towards the end Michael not only invited two young boys up on stage, but handed each of them one of his guitars to play. I suspect they will remember that for some time.

Good show. I'm still smiling to think about it.
