Rest, Free Man

I consider FrancisM a patriot, if for no other reason than this: he sang songs that inspired me to love my country more. One of the first songs that truly moved me — and it’s all the more significant because he was rapping, and I don’t do hiphop — was his Three Stars and a Sun, off, I think, his Freeman record, and the first few lines went something like this:

Three stars and a sun, in one sky, so high,
I live and die and die will I for my
Motherland [...]

I think he did. Rest, free man. And God speed.
