Michael_Franti was born in 1966 on 4-21 and continues to be quite a versatile artist, especially since the 1990's.

You could say that Mike has been warning people about the dangers of Smart_TV when people were still getting dumbed down enough on the basic terrestrial TV set.

Of course it can also be said that U2 provided a glimpse into the looming technological data-zoo of the 1990s and beyond.
