You're not the only one who feels that way. My wife and I went home about 25 minutes into Michael Franti's set. All his songs were upbeat pop melodies (nothing wrong with that per se) with lyrics the likes of which you'd hear on Sesame Street. I wasn't impressed at all, but most of the crowd seemed to love it, so what do I know?
