Don't worry about those people calling you a sell out just because you're letting your music be used in a beer commercial. Every great artist has to do a beer commercial or let Corona Lite advertise on their website every once in a while.
You may be going too far with the Michael Franti 'Hey World' $15 Koozie though.
Whata Sell Out. Now he hawks Corona LITE beer. Even lets them put ads all over his bands webpage. Fuckin Franti, what happened man? It used to be beautiful. Now it's like a Gap Ad. "Sold ya soul to [Corona Lite] brew It's aw'ight I like the Sprite in you." 'Food For The Masses' ~ Spearhead ~ Chocolate Supa Hi Way 1997 Then again what ISN'T Mike hawking? He's got a Yoga DVD a Cookbook, Keychains, Mousepads, T-Shirts, More books, Etc Et Etc. The market is SATURATED Mike! Next stop TACO BELL??
@dannooozy And he'd probably get his ass shot too, if it weren't for the fact that he was unimportant. "Bomb the world, bomb michael franti into pieces!! Oh John Lennon blah blah...."
Ive spent time with this brother, also his band, keeping the backstage together at certain shows. Michael is the most sincere person I know. The band are all great people as well. They loved my 10 y.old son....really love Michael, speaking truth always. Also lives it everyday.
i remember the early 90s when disposable heroes of hiphopracy came out hip-hop and rap were all the fad so i avoided it but they when a watched a indie video show and they played it, it spoke to me and sounded more like music then regular hip-hop every one hated it because it wasent about killing, bitches (sorry to use that word) money and matereal items i really think he schould do another album under them the hip-hop world needs a new rol modal get in2 them if its there new to u well worth
hey can someone please tell me of more michael franti songs like this? i tend to enjoy this song much more than some of his more popular shit. thanks a lot!

Chris Blackwell said that Michael Franti is "the most important artist recording and performing, alive today..." (or something along those lines).
I would tend to agree. Most certainly brothers like Gil Scott Heron, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and many others provided the same prophetic and wisdom service to society, none the less they are very very important and gifts of grace.
Like Miles told Bryant Gumble, you can't rank a real artist. They serve as channels for the divine...
Bob was great but Bob is unfortunately dead. Take the message he left to heart but don't close the mind to the new messages being made in the present. Power to the peaceful!

Do you understand how expensive it is to take a band out on the road? This pays for that and allows us to hear them all over the country. Get real!

Just wish more people would live by your words, so much hate in this world.
So let me tell you: love IS enough!!

the rest of the song's title phrase lyric is "or can you love some more?" In other words, the song is about loving even more than you do already.
