wonderful song

[LamontCJ]

It's all about the struggle!! Politics, history, culture, poverty, racism, greed, selfishness, hipocricy, and pride. One Stop shopping for your soul. Great Work!!

i recently met him in a private poetry club in new york city--wonderful and outstanding human being. he keeps it real!

[LamontCJ]

That's pretty hip. I always loved Gil and appreciated his insight. I don't care about his demons because for but the grace of God go I. The man is a lyrical genius and a true griot. I hope your experience was memorable.

[n2cora]

yeah, he's been through it--and the miracle of it all is that he lived to talk about it.

[LamontCJ]

Sho' Nuff. Many of us have lived to tell a story and for those who are willing to listen get to benefit of what not to do.

Gil Scott-Heron is indeed a musical Prophet.
