Tribute to the great black soul poet Gil Scott-Heron (April 1, 1949 – May 27, 2011).
"My grandma used to say anything that got the white's is dangerous"
"Alot of black people watch tv because THEY THINK it's FREE"
"And there is of course the old- old- paranoia. I thought I was watching tv and it turns out the tv was watching me".
"A lot of times people see battles and skirmishes on TV (click link) and they say 'Aha, the revolution is being televised!' Nah. The results of the revolution are being televised. The first revolution is when you change your mind about how you look at things and see that there might be another way to look at it that you have not been shown. What you see later on is the results of that, but the revolution, that change that takes place, will not be televised."

A nice visual poem of his most famous song HERE
The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised,
will not be televised, will not be televised.
The revolution will be no re-run brothers;
THE REVOLUTION WILL BE LIVE.
19J See you on the street sisters and brothers.
The revolution will be no re-run brothers;
THE REVOLUTION WILL BE LIVE.
