Do u rap for the money...or for fame..or for yourself?
To me, success is like a tree. you plant seeds and you hope to grow strong roots that can hold up a strong trunk, and have a lot of branches that spread out wide with lots of leaves to catch a lot of sunlight and a lot of rain. and in time, your tree will bear fruit, and you can eat that fruit or you can share it with your friends or you can plant the seeds back in the ground and plant more trees, or you can use it to fertilise, but it's not like a gold statue that you put on your fireplace, cos if you put fruit up on your fireplace it will rot and stink up your living room.

Love Kamikaze: The Lost Sex Singles
Micahel Franti will do solo acoustic shows in Melborune and Sydney when Spearhead come to Austrailia for the Melbourne Jazz and Blues festival.
The shows coincide with the release of a new limited edition CD, Love Kamikaze: The Lost Sex Singles, which features six previously unreleased Franti/Spearhead tracks.
It seems the CD will be on sale at the shows (and possible later on Spearheadvibrations just like Songs From The Front Porch.)

I Know I'm Not Alone
Dan has found a video of the song I Know I'm Not Alone, the first time it was played. The lyrics are also available. Thanks Dan.
New lyrics
We've added some new lyrics (see below). Dan has sorted them all out. All songs are unreleased and lyrics taken from live performances.
We're back!
Thanks to Matt and Jen of loveisdashit.com for getting us back up - updates soon and please report any torubles with the site.
My email is back up richard@freakyandfree.com
It's so out of date!
It was been pointed out on the Spearhead Music Board that our chords (and also lyrics) are unreliable (incorrect). This
is a communication failing on our part. Also an indication of our slackness. Most of the chords
and lyrics have been sourced from the first (or early) live perfomrance. Some songs have since been commercially released with slight (or major)
changes. It has been an oversight on our part NOT to indicate the source performance of the lyrics or chords. In future we will
endeavour to attribute the source of the lyrics or chords. For example, both the chords and lyrics of Bomb The World were taken
from an early live performance, the lyrics and chords are not an entirely accurate in regard to the CD release.
We have recently posted chords and ltrics to a new song Life-saver. It was posted by loveisdashit.com from a March 30th performance at Santa Rosa.
Who knows, if it will ever recieve an offical CD release and with what differences in lyrics, melody or in key? From now on we will
acknowledge the source of these lyrics (and maybe even update when a commerical release is made!) in order to communicate the accuracy against an officail release.
Over the next few weeks we will attempt to go through the all lyrics and chords to acknowledge their source.
Thanks for your patience and understanding with this!
This site will now focus on lyrics, cd covers for the field
recordings, general info, setlists and past tour info.
If you have any chords or other info please send it in - even if you sent it before! I lost all my old emails as well.

Chico State University, Chico, CA 8/26/2002
This was a super fun show! We pulled into town and stopped for a bite to eat.
Over the PA in the restaurant we hear "Order Up for Radio". We glance over and see Radioactive grabbin' some chow before the gig.
We knew that was a good omen. Heck Radio seemed to be all over. He was even spotted doing some beat-box and freestyle outside the venue.
It was the first day of classes at Chico, and was a much younger crowd then we saw at Petaluma.
Michael would joke that every day in college is going to be just like tonight!
Everyone Deserves Music and People in the Middle rocked. Sounded alot like we heard in Petaluma.
We were super happy to hear Runfayalife. Carl sounded great with the no, no, no's
Hel, Carl sounded great all night. His bass was so fat and funky. His solos blew us away!
Stay Human was full of solos and lots of fun.
We were also glad to hear "Of Course You Can" One of our favorite Spearhead numbers.
Radio kicked in What Happens Next.
Never Too late had everyone huggin' their friends and dancing together.
Once again we were treated to the new songs What I Be and Pray for Grace.
They just sound Better and Better!
In The Light with its new arrangement had many people stumped. It took a while for them to go "wow, that sounds totally different!"
Soulshine is always a favorite and was beautifully done.
Radio was on all night. Doing an extended solo complete with his Pan-Flute gadget.
He kept the place jumping all night!
Rock the Nation closed the set. It was good, but did not rock as much as the one in Petaluma.
The Encores were really a second set.
Feeling Free' was our favorite part of the encores.
Everyone joined hands in a big love trained that lasted forever! So much good energy.
Bomb The world was next. Michael told everyone about the upcoming 9-11 Festiveal.
Sometimes closed the night and had us all dancing once again.
THis was a magical show. From start to finish.
I got the chance to go backstage an meet the band, so that may cloud my objectivity of the night!
So many wonderful people! Such a wonderful show.
Thanks to everyone ( Michael, Dave, Carl, Mannas, Radio, Bob, Papa Pretty, Dan, Laurie, Tige, and Gina ... We are forgetting some I know) who made our mini 3 show tour a truly magical experience!
We'll see you In The Light.
Stay Human
Matt and Jennifer (the sparkles)
