"Television, the drug of the nation, breeding ignorance and feeding radiation... on television, the drug of the nation..."
Michael Franti and Spearhead is one of my favorite groups: conscious, funky, soulful, positive!
For Franti, before there was Spearhead, there was The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy and the classic "Television." DHH were much more of a hip hop group than Spearhead and they packed a dead ahead hard-core political message. It doesn't go down as smooth as Spearhead, but it has a driving urgency... and more than a dash of Public Enemy in it.
This video is worth a look.
