  • rip

  • Genius thats all I need to describe this man

  • A TRUE genius was lost today! RIP Gil Scott. You will sorely be missed.

  • winter in america for rilzzz --rip

  • Click! Whirr ... Click! "I'm sorry, the government you have elected is inoperative ... Click! Inoperative!" Just how blind will America be? The world is on the edge of its seat Defeat on the horizon. very surprisin' That we all could see the plot and still could not... -- let me do that part again. Just how blind will America be? (Ain't no tellin') The world is on the edge of its seat Defeat on the horizon. very surprisin' That we all could see the plot And claimed that we could not.
  • The world lost something great today.

    RIP

  • Holloman, Erlichman, Mitchell & Dean it follows a pattern if you know what I mean?!!!

    WOW Gil Scott Heron is the epitome of what a Prophet is!!! RIP

  • RIP Gil Scott Heron.

  • The true test of genius is longevity of relevance. Gil Scott Heron hits the nail on the head with this song. Simply change a few names in the song and you have a description of what has been going on since Cheney became the Puppetmaster, and Rupert Murdoch learned how to use embedded messages to control the legions of moronic conservative leaning lemmings who woud gladly follow the G.O.Tea party as it drives America over the cliff into the economic abyss.

  • I wish he coulod follow this one up with something titled BUSH Blues...he ran away, and got off...No One has said anything about it... So much for our artists today..in rock, R&B, pop, and jazz....

  • @11kful Dixie Chicks?

  • My god, he was good! Brilliant political commentary. So sad we have no one today to follow in his footsteps.

  • The names have changed, but the story is JUST the same ... the innocent 'don't even get protected....

  • This man helped shape my thoughts and know that there are things that you must take a close look at.

  • Giant! When did music lose it's political voice?

  • @paultoner01 a few years ago....

    

  • Play it today...ain't nothin' changed up in these here United States of America! Genius.

  • thank you so much
