took me a couple of goes to understand what this meant, but now i think it means that you cant be part of "the revolution" by doing nothing (ie. watching TV). So you have to go out and actively take part in the revolution.
I think the song also subtly tells you to take action and have your own opinion instead of being fed by the media and government.
@tombokickass He had an interview in his older years before his death explaining what he was thinking when he wrote this song. It was actually a little bit more philosophical in the fact that there revolution begins in your mind. Kind of like when you've had the last straw. When your mad as hell and cant take it anymore. The revolution will be live because you just transcended.
@tombokickass Well there is that, but its also that the revolution cannot be broadcast on television, photographed or captured with a microphone because the revolution begins inside each individuals mind and heart.
@tombokickass Close! In an interview, Gil stated that he thinks the revolution will not be television because the real revolution takes place in your mind, which then causes you to stand up and fight.
The Revolution will not be televised! Will not be televised! Will not be televised! Will not be televised! The Revolution will be no rerun brothas. The Revolution...will be live.
Teehee... Correct! The Revolution WNBT because it will happen when people simply build a space of love for themselves for perpetuity. What a concept! Grow your own food, "support" yourself- Total anarchy! = Death to the Fascist regime known as technocratic society. Now -who else has the brains and balls to actually JOIN the Revolution?
The Ringing Cedars of Russia IS the Revolution, it has already begun.
Dammn, this song is the truth, look at the occupy movement, the arabic revolution. The revolution will not be televised. State propaganda will be televised however.
THE REVOLUTION will NOT be televised. Understand? Of course no major news media group will show the world what's really going on. The media is in it for MONEY. Hmm, what do most people do when they panic at what they see on TV? They turn it OFF. Do you want people to TURN OFF YOUR STATION if you own it? NO! Of course not. What brings in the money, keeps the TV industry alive.

One pretty bad mistake: at 1:16, he says "Willie May" (the Olympic hurdler) *not* (the pictured) Willie Mays. Also, I'm sure that "Julia" (:59) is a reference to the character played by Diahann Carroll in the sitcom of the same name from 68-71. And it's a little strange that you show someone playing a saxophone for all the flute licks.

Has anyone else heard the version of this with a female saying "the revolution will not be televised" and the tempo is a bit faster than this. I heard it on the radio and can't find it any ideas?
This is great! I was driving with my kids a couple of months ago and this came on the radio station. My kids had never heard it before: they thought it was terrific and thought it was a great, NEW rap song! Hahahahaha
get julia roberts out of here ???? about that "Julia" reference--In 1968, Diahann Carroll became the first African American woman to have the lead in a hit TV show, starring as Julia Baker - widowed mother of six year old ... glad but sad to see this still means something to us all---
The new and last Revolution now is The Israelites (Blacks and Hispanics of Negroe and Indian Decent Arising up Teaching the Truth about this Bible. We are teaching that Church has led us backwards in society and there teaching lies. We are teaching that America is hypocritical and Obama is not the Hope of Black People. The only Hope is the Black Messiah Jesus the Christ. We are the Real Jews!!! Blacks and Hispanics Wake up and return as the Israelites and Keep the Commandments.
@spuddy83 ahh...very brite of you to come up with a very educated communication style..."go f yourself"...wow you must be a product of public education...lol at liberals....go collect your govwernment check
@musicprodave Aw, did I hit a nerve? Tut, half of america don't even know what a liberal really is? You are a neo-liberal and the biggest political douchebag crawling the earth. I'm a good product of public education because in Ireland it works and we have no 1st amendment rights to hold arms so our kids aren't shooting each other to death and can concentrate on work.
Where did you go to school? 'govewernment' what a joke. I have a job mate, because I can spell unlike some.
@spuddy83 Its second amendment rights. Also, you are both wrong. Guns are used by the responsible to fight the people that sometimes use them illegaly.
@Sagitarius2501 Sadly so true, but it is when the middle classes realise they're not middle class any more that is when the real revolution will begin. Its just sad that the middle classes are sullied with so much distraction and a belief that things will get better.
@spuddy83 Damn!!! same thing here in Mexico. War on drugs is a war on the middle classes. War on terrorism, drugs, organized crime, comunism is always the same, people gets hurt and poorer.
@mgofthefc Yeah and the EU is talking about introducing a European Federal Reserve. Its all a bit dejavu. As the US formed theirs out of a similar hardship. No one learns from history.
A future of debt awaits our children and their children.
@ThePurpleP No my friend, you're wrong. If you read something about what you're saying you'll see that you probably have a blured concept about that idea. But hey, it's your position, i don't know you, i respect it. But most people have the wrong idea about it. Not saying that is the best one, but has a quite clear universe that most people don't know about it. And it's nuclear in our present era. Greeting from Europe.
@TheCrackfox9 You're a sicko. Get help. Don't you think there's enough hate in the world without your odious vitriol against someone you never even met. Your diatribe is vile. The world is the way it is because of people like you. I am white and thank God I don't think like you. You are an embarassment to white people.

One pretty bad mistake: at 1:16, he says "Willie May" (the Olympic hurdler) *not* (the pictured) Willie Mays. Also, I'm sure that "Julia" (:59) is a reference to the character played by Diahann Carroll in the sitcom of the same name from 68-71. And it's a little strange that you show someone playing a saxophone for all the flute licks.

@NecroMetro That's nice but that''s also a part of what I wanted to say.
With all respect this peacefull "revolution" will solve nothing.
We are indoctrinated with peacefull actions that''s what you''ve been told.
I hope i''m wrong but I think the 1% will not be impressed, thinks will stay the way they are.
On television I saw same people from occupy being sad for Steve Jobs. And he is the 1%) of the 1%.
the 99% always and will always consume too much from the 1%

The new and last Revolution now is The Israelites (Blacks and Hispanics of Negroe and Indian Decent Arising up Teaching the Truth about this Bible. We are teaching that Church has led us backwards in society and there teaching lies. We are teaching that America is hypocritical and Obama is not the Hope of Black People. The only Hope is the Black Messiah Jesus the Christ. We are the Real Jews!!! Blacks and Hispanics Wake up and return as the Israelites and Keep the Commandments.

@musicprodave Aw, did I hit a nerve? Tut, half of america don't even know what a liberal really is? You are a neo-liberal and the biggest political douchebag crawling the earth. I'm a good product of public education because in Ireland it works and we have no 1st amendment rights to hold arms so our kids aren't shooting each other to death and can concentrate on work.
Where did you go to school? 'govewernment' what a joke. I have a job mate, because I can spell unlike some.

@Sagitarius2501 Sadly so true, but it is when the middle classes realise they're not middle class any more that is when the real revolution will begin. Its just sad that the middle classes are sullied with so much distraction and a belief that things will get better.

@ThePurpleP No my friend, you're wrong. If you read something about what you're saying you'll see that you probably have a blured concept about that idea. But hey, it's your position, i don't know you, i respect it. But most people have the wrong idea about it. Not saying that is the best one, but has a quite clear universe that most people don't know about it. And it's nuclear in our present era. Greeting from Europe.
