Stay Human (album)

Stay Human is the third studio release by Michael Franti & Spearhead. Many of the tracks on this album are fictional radio segments focusing on the case of "Sister Fatima" who is executed later in the album for murder. At the album's end, new evidence reveals Sister Fatima was innocent, and Governor Franklin Shane, who authorized the execution in order to boost his re-election campaign, commits suicide. In the radio segments, Governor Shane is played by Woody Harrelson.
