Man... can't believe you wrote this in the hospital... I'm a nurse and know its a dark place. To see someone so optimistic and bright really makes everything so much better! Love it

Isn't it amazing. I feel the same way about rain. I feel like it cleanses and energizes my soul. So much so that I moved from the south to the Pacific Northwest. I wait for the clouds to cover the sun before I really want to go outside.

Franti is the man!

[@RandallSBaird]

I love you Michael. I am a member of the Glide Ensemble, and as such I've had the honor of backing you up, on stage, at two fundraising events (2005 and 2015). I'll never forget the "Best of The Bay " when we did your song "One Step Closer". You have taken me _many_ steps closer to a better world by being you! God bless you, your wife, and your beautiful little one!

I was institutionalised by the mental health authorities here in new Zealand via the police . . I was in a very happy space . .living on Kawau Island, North of Auckland, eating scallops out of the ocean ...where almost everything smells like suntan lotion . .bare footed ..playing a eukele to chickens like a chicken . . Playing beautiful music across Schoolhouse Bay .. smelling the bush.. talking to and singing with the birds and The Byrd .. befriending wallabies and wekas .. and ..they thought I was CRAZY . . Well it was The Sound Of Sunshine that got me through even the Disposable Heroes of Hipoprascy came to my rescue AND all of Michael and Spearheads never ending repertoire . . I am eternally grateful .AROHA

[@verticitatem]

Best Video Ever

[@sepisolatanya-marieililong890]

I'm very Noir and that is one of my favoritests songs to lure me back from "those places". Black/Noir/Dark personality people get it. The other one is Hole In The Bucket because I'm a big kid and it reminds me of Seame Street.

[@xjohnlangerijs527]

Music da most high, with a good weed & a cold good bear. Da ultimate festival vibe. Namasté m8. :D

[@trekdiane]

Sorry I'll miss you when you're here at Edgefield but I"m passing on this video to friends here who are going to the show. You are Music RX!!

I'm glad you're feeling well, though I'm sure they knew it was your appendix from the start they just needed to flush out the money from your insurance company 1st before they commenced with treatment.
