bradm Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 I'd be willing (though possibly not able; my schedule for that chunk of March hasn't been fully nailed down yet) to come out and try and record the performance. Would a soundboard feed be possible? I checked on archive.org, and some of the Franti shows are from the board, so it looks like he allows it.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartamophone Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Noice. I'd be willing to bet that he ends up at Babylon after the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 [color:purple]I was under the impression Michael wasn't a big fan of Babylon, at least according to his song "Life Saver".Hello earth childrenThis is your mama calling hereYou ain't been listening so IThought I'd make myself more clearIts been a long hard roadThat Babylon beat you down with despairNow I see you're tiredI still need your help down there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneMtn Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Why do people make comments like that?So you don't like him or his music. Then, why would you come to this thread?Is your intention to simply put down people who are interested in this show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gateaux Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 I don't think i put anyone down did i? You got it right i love putting down fans ofFranti, damnit i've been figured out!!Just voicing an opinion, my apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneMtn Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 "Meh" is an opinion?The implication of your one-word "opinion" is that those interested in this show should re-think that, which will obviously cause some people to be reluctant to post that they are going to attend the show. It may also discourage others from attending who are interested. I don't see why a person would do that. Clearly people here, including me, enjoy Michael Franti live. Presumably you have also seen him, and you don't enjoy his shows. If so, why post anything in a thread that is only announcing his shows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gateaux Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 I'm sorry i said anything jesus, thread police!! Maybe your reading too far into my post ormaybe i'm an ignorant young man, regardless theFranti show should be a great time.Eveythin is so nice....

Alexis Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 aren't we allowed to make fun of people?Franti is a great person, but his music stinks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 I have no idea what he's like as a person. I've never met him.As far as making fun of people, why in the world would someone do that with regard to a musician right in a thread dedicated to inviting people out to that musician's show? It is disrespectful to the promoter who posted the info and disrespectful to those who are showing interest in the show. Why ruin things for others?It's also obviously disrespectful to the musician, himself, who is trying to make a living. This is particularly offensive in the case that the musician is a good person, as you suggested. People should respect his right to work at his chosen profession. Why expend effort only to put up obstacles for him? That's just mean.Further, if someone has actual criticism, there is a place for it. Start a thread, for instance. It should not be done by hijacking a thread posted by someone who is spending his own time, energy, and probably risking money to put on a show. That's just rude.I also think that "criticism" usually involves some sort of comment. "Meh" is akin to childish name-calling. As a matter of fact, so is simply saying something "stinks". Comments like that are simply made as put-downs. They are not criticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
