(YouTube)</p></div></p>
<p>Remember Kai, the brave hippie with <a href="http://observer.com/2013/02/too-bad-the-axe-wielding-hitchhiker-vs-racist-jesus-murder-driver-story-has-already-been-optioned-video/">who put his trust in the wrong racist Jesus</a> while hitchhiking through California? You know ... <em>Kai? </em>Dude who has brown hair? Headband? Carries a hatchet everywhere he goes? Yeah, okay, we're talking about the same guy.</p>
<p>Well, it turns out Kai is a multi-talented man. Not only can he give a great interview, and hit people over the head with a small axe hidden in a knapsack, but he's a musician as well. We know! Who would have thought Kai would have turned out to be such a fan of Sublime and Old Crow Medicine Show? Well, besides everyone.</p>

<p>Kai on the beach singing "Wagon Wheel":</p>
<p><span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='420' height='315' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/azJsEx6FFU4?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span></p>
<p>We assumed Kai loves OCMS because they are from North Carolina, and from what little we can gather from the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDQTvuP1Dgs&amp;lc=fa5C3IseuC4OqereueW803FyAJTW0t9OVRMSdsEeAQA">YouTube comments</a>, Kai spent some time at a community college in the state. Furhter research, however, indicates that he went to Concord University in West Virginia, and now is now a "HomeFree hitchhiker" in Eureka, CA.<br />
And here he is playing an original(?) tune:<br />
<span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='420' height='315' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/POtoz5VqSe0?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span></p>
<p>And inevitably, the Gregory Brothers remix:<br />

<p>And from his <a href="https://www.facebook.com/KaiTheHomeFreeHitchhiker">public page on Facebook</a>, here is Kai singing "Seed" by Sublime:<br />
