Throughout his late-afternoon Rothbury set with Spearhead, Michael Franti displayed a knack for impressions that would put Dave Coulier to shame. During an amped-up cover of Sublime’s “What I Got,” the singer dropped a few bars of “The Rainbow Connection” in his best Kermit the Frog voice and briefly channeled Cookie Monster as he chanted “C is for cookie.” It wasn’t all fun and games, though. A pair of politically charged songs from his forthcoming record (All Rebel Rockers, out on Anti- this September) — the hard-hitting reggae riddims of “Remote Control” and the comparatively peaceful “Hey World” — found the singer laying out his views for a New World Order.
