MUSIC: MICHAEL FRANTI - “BIG BIG LOVE”
The latest album from Michael Franti is available for download now. “BIG BIG LOVE” is another loved up offering by the Spearhead frontman. The 17 track album is stacked to the gills with hands in the air, make you want to dance, feel good songs. Michael performed a few tunes from the new album at the “Do it for the Love” fundraiser with wife Sara in SF last night. The sold out affair had gala goers moving and shaking to the songs as if they had known them their entire lives. Such is the appeal of Michael Franti, he clears a space for you to connect, dance and sing along to his songs - even if you don’t know the words you get the vibe and it’s always upbeat and positive. Spread the BIG BIG LOVE with your family and friends and - as Thanksgiving approaches - be grateful for it. More at Michael Franti’s online home.
BOOK: JACK REACHER “THE SECRET” BY LEE CHILD & ANDREW CHILD
“I'm a man with a rule. People leave me alone, I leave them alone. If they don't, I don't."
It’s the final book in the popular series by Lee Child. “It’s time for me to do this thing called retirement” said the Reacher author at the NKF Authors luncheon in SF last week.
This is book number 28 and it does not disappoint. A string of mysterious deaths. A long-classified mission. A young MP with nothing to lose. Enter Jack Reacher. A book you can’t put down. But is this really the last? Jack Reacher is available now.

PRC's signature event of the year, the Mighty Real Gala, is all about being Mighty Real. It’s also about being absolutely fabulous, just like Sylvester. He transformed our ideas about who and what we could be, and he was going to be a star.
