  • This piece needs an update:

    "The Revolution will not be tweeted, made your friend on Facebook, or uploaded to You Tube. The Revolution will not be digitized."

  • A Classic.

    God bless Gill Scott-Heron may his spirit soar upwards and beyond time...

  • Racist bore

  • thank you

  • Based on the sound of the applause, it sounded like he performed that for only about 5 people. What a shame.

  • UPLOAD YOUR REVOLUTION!!! THE REVOLUTION MAYBE NOT BE TELEVISED BUT SHE GONNA BE DOWLODABLE

  • respect from Greece...viva la revolusion!!!

  • @grimbitter i have been to several states now & been part of several OCCUPY protest, & will cont. 2 do so. Silly little box doesn't give someone enough room to say all the things that need to be said, so hopefully you read my last message, nothing but Respect and love brother, i agree with what you were saying, i feel the same way, and i was trying to bring awareness to the issues. As our only voice can be heard hear in our "we the people's" forum of news broadcasting. until Gov. takes it away

  • @grimbitter i do agree with what you have said, you might not realize we are on the same page, and i do have to say at the time i wrote this had you heard of "OCCUPY WALL STREET" ? you tube, live streaming and etc is our media of choice for televising a LIVE EVENT, not prerecorded filtered and watered down, as in the major media channels are now showing uploaded beatings , pepper spraying and etc,from where else, youtube, lol. Grimbitter = same page different play on words. Respect & love bro

  • @rebelflagstate You missed the point, my friend. The revolution is not being televised. Sanitized soundbites are being aired, interpreted, and filtered for the masses. So long as the cops can justify pepper spraying fleeing young women, or claim that the explosions in the campsite were occupier firecrackers and not police-issue flashbangs, when the news reports on "riots" but not the cause of the concern, the revolution is not being televised.

  • love this.. the drum beats give this rap a tribal, up whipping edge to it.
