  • the revolution happened brother; and it's wearing bling :0(

  • @tzouras The bling boys and girls don't have a clue. maybe when they are pushing a shopping cart full of empty beer cans down the street, they will get it.

  • @1454LOU The trouble with modern society is that it doesn’t know the middle way; it’s either excess into booze and drugs or excess into shallow hedonism. Any fledgling revolution was turned on its head by cheap credit 25 years ago; I wonder what type of new revolution massive debt will produce in the near future?

  • Hey!

    this is my presentation!!!

    RIP Gil. I know I chose his poem for a reason.

  • RIP Bro. Gil Scott Heron...thank you...[thx Kim for the post]

  • great song and great poertry by Gil. As Mr Han from Enter the Dragon said to Williams: the style is unorthodox but effective

  • the song is

    "Soul Sacrifice"-Santana

  • what is this song about

  • @deathspa202 you did not listen...or maybe you are too young to remember what it was like to live in the time...but what he is talking about is the struggle that black people were fighting...for equality and opportunity in the face of blatant discrimination, abuse, marginalization, neglect and the attempt to impose social genocide...life in the 70's for black people in america.

  • @Winn1906 i didnt need a novel dude

  • Great video! Great poem! Great music!

  • It works for its intended purpose which is so students have examples of illuminated poetry. When I uploaded this there were a handful, but this genre seems to be growing and if I can be a part of that then I'm happy.

  • Skag? It's "Stag", as in porno. It would have been a little more effective too if you had used the actual song rather than Santana...

  • Incorrect. The term used in the poem is Skag, which is a slang term for Heroin.
