there's a documentary that michael franti did that came out recently about his trip to palestine/isreal. in it he says he can't learn a song in the native language because it would be too much. so instead he makes up a song called 'habib' which translates to friend. throughout the documentary he breaks out his guitar and starts singing this song which is basically just the repetition of the word on two chords. to me it was the most patronizing thing anyone could possibly do and negated anything else i could gain from the movie. if music is truly the universal language you could learn a frickin song. it reminded me of borat walking around singing 'friend, friend, friend, friend.' what would you think?
