One of four tunes done for the Peel session, Michael Franti & Rono Tse went on to become The Disposable Heroes of HipHopricy. Franti then went on to get an accoustic guitar and do lots of much less interesting stuff.

In 1988 I was working for Greenpeace in Eugene, Oregon. One night the Beatnigs' van broke down in front of our office. We went out to help them push it out of the street. Along came a coupe of police officers, who joined in helping us move the van. It was one of the strangest endeavors I was ever part of: The Beatnigs, Greenpeace and the Eugene PD all working together to push a broken-down vehicle out of the road.

yeah it's a shame, the Whole HipHoprisy thing became almost a self parody, personally i thinkthe Spare Ass Annie LP with William Burroughs is my personal favourite, Michael was probably all talked out by then!
