Gil Scott-Heron, composer, poet, civil rights activist and rap pioneer died today at age 62.
"The first change that takes place is in your mind. You have to change your mind before you change the way you're living, the way you move. So when we said "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised," we were saying the thing that's going to change people is something that no one will ever be able to capture on film. It will just be something that you see and realize "I'm on the wrong page, or I'm on the right page but I'm on the wrong note and I've got to get in sink with everyone else to understand what's happening in this country."

Both Mr G and I were very sad to see this news. I can only hope that people will begin to listen to his music/poetry again.
