Gil Scott-Heron has died

[1959]

Listened to this yesterday :-(



It has to be one of the greatest political protest songs ever. What a song.

sad news

RIP

one of the few heroes I have and a true inspiration for me.

The world is just a bit worse off tonight.

I have to say though he looked older than 62.

RIP Gil Scott Heron

This. So much this.


I had to break the news to my 11 year old that Murray had signed for Palace and G S-H had died yesterday. He was genuinely more upset about Scott-Heron dying. He's been playing Winter in America non-stop since. Great man, great poet, great visionary.

you know Ponce, we seem to have such different politics, and yet we are both able to feel a loss for this man. That is why he will be missed, his ability to lift us above petty differences.
