Rest in peace, Gil Scott Heron. You were an icon who paved the way for many poets, and modern rap(not the shit on the radio). If a poet, soul/jazz artist or anyone who belongs to part of the movement which is hip hop doesn't know of your legacy then they need to learn to be able to truly continue in their craft.
With all the influence Nelson Mandela & Obama has got surly they could appeal on Gary Tyler`s behalf. For fuck sake it`s 2010 from a white man from Scotland UK.
I am shocked. I heard this song live by Gil Scott-Heron in Bremen/Germany 30 years ago. TODAY I found out that Gary Tyler's still in prison. I have lived 30 years of my life in the meantime.

And I thought I knew all of Gil's songs ! I just discovered this one tonight thanks to the recording of a fantastic live version from '83.
My apologies to Fedofedo ; I loved your comment but instead of clicking on "yes" I clicked on the contrary ;o))
My thoughts to all the victims of this kind of injustice in the world, to all the victims of racism, brutality, sionism and colonialism in general.

This is one of the most outrageous acts by any state government in this nation. We have got to push even harder to Free Brother Gary Tyler.
