Raffi is more than he appears when you listen to the kids songs he performs. I have listened to his music for years, but not until I read his autobiography did I learn about what makes him tick. And I learned that he does not approve of over using his videos to entertain our young ones. The videos should be shown as a special treat. My kids watch his videos over and over. And we listen to his tapes in the car, over and over. I'm certian he would scowl at my parenting style. Yet, I admire his inner strength, his pride in his heritage, his spirituality and his desire to protect our planet.
