Thanks, Allan. Rest in peace.... Gil Scott-Heron.
Mr. Scott-Heron may have been the heart, soul, the proto rapper, and all beginnings of hip hop, African American neo soul movement, but for me...(I cannot get into rap, sorry, but Gil had it all and I love him)....well, you can UNDERSTAND him (figuratively) and he UNDERSTANDS US (truly!)!! ....
HE is about what we all experienced in the 60's & what we see today. Gil released a new album just last year after 16 years absence from recording.....the REVOLUTION is now, more than ever.
The Revolution Will not Be televised....

But if one day you should see me from your cloud
lend a hand and lift me
Away from the crowd. |
