Overall, though, I think their following here in Chicago is small and
tight but loyal.

ps I love his stuff with DHOH - such obvious social and
political significance. I hear that project partially broke up because
Franti was thought to be very "intense". He doesn't seem to think so. I
remember reading an article about him where he said people think he's
going to be this angry intense man (after listening to his lyrics) when
they meet him but that he's probably just thinking about playing Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles with his kids!
