a dedication to one of the real greats who left the planet may 27th 2011.
Dear Gil Scott-Heron - the revolution will still not be televised, but it happens
step by step, with loads of help by your words & encouragement, so it did back in the 70 & 80s, so it will be happening in the near future.
you've been not "new here" in 2010 when you came back with all your blues and lyrics that still can't find equivalents among musicians and poets today.
your unique voice, your lyrics, your music and yourself as a man with a true sense of humour in between your strong political work will be sorely missed, but your memory lives on through your music.
thank you for always standing up and strong to yourself,
so now may you find your peace somewhere in heaven,
maybe sit down next to Robert Johnson . . .
