A bit of appreciation to one of our nation’s finest poets, one of the coolest and smartest musicians to ever live. Gil Scott-Heron is inspiring in word, action and movement. This full length video of a concert, with poetic vignettes and musings chronicles so much powerful work, including a few of my favorites like “Whitey on the Moon”, “Angel Dust”, “The Bottle”, “Waiting For The Axe To Fall” and the especially powerful in this day and age anthem “Winter In America”
There will never be a cooler cat to speak the soul’s truth to the sounds of a boombox on his shoulder. While I got you, this later song of his has been ringing in my head recently.
