Michael Franti -- perhaps as close as it comes to a modern day 'prince of peace'.
He and bandmates Spearhead made a journey to war zones in Western Asia including Iraq, Israel and Palestine to witness the 'human cost of war' with their own senses, and the experience totally informed the writing of the album Yell Fire!
The material was too heavy, and the band went off to Jamaica to record and lighten it up.
