Singer songwriter with a New England sentiment. Currently residing in Phoenix Arizona and embracing the late night open mic, Sam Francis produces a wanna be Jack Kerouac feel that touches on the great folk singers of our lives. Reminiscent of Bobby Dylan and Pete Seeger. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Sam+Francis">Read more on Last.fm</a>

Quotes

  • If we could somehow take out the ideology, change the minds of those who control the state, and convert them into paleo-conservatives, the state apparatus itself would be neutral. What really animates its drive toward a totalitarian conquest and reconfiguration of society and the human mind itself comes from the ideology that the masters of the managerial state have adopted, a force that is entirely extraneous and largely accidental to the structure by which they exercise power.
  • America, for once in its brief and not always glorious history, must try to learn that its own experience is peculiar in world history, that it has been unusually fortunate in coming to maturity in an epoch of untypical peace and prosperity, and that it cannot continue to judge the world by the norm of its own mythology.
