Same as it ever was!!! #noreissues but they reissuing the same America has short term memory Scott-Heron took the news of the day and transformed it into social commentary and wicked satire, #seekknowledge #knowhistory #criticalthinking #understandtheokeydoke #watchmepullarabbitoutofmyhat #looknothingupmysleeve #themorethingschangethemoretheystaythesame #sameasiteverwas # Gilbert Scott-Heron (April 1, 1949 – May 27, 2011) was an American soul and jazz poet, musician, and author, known primarily for his work as a spoken-word performer in the 1970s and 1980s. His collaborative efforts with musician Brian Jackson featured a musical fusion of #jazz #blues and #soul, as well as lyrical content concerning social and political issues of the time, delivered in both rapping and melismatic vocal styles by Scott-Heron. His own term for himself was #bluesologist", which he defined as "a scientist who is concerned with the origin of the blues".

Remembering and paying tribute to Gil Scott-Heron on what would have been his 70th year on this earth.
A truly extraordinary, multi talented musician, poet, activist, bluesologist, one of the original influencers and pretty much the first rapper/mc to hit the airwaves.
I find myself in another one of those situations where my words could never even slightly explain the importance of this artist to music and the world in general.
So, I will just say that the first time I heard “The Bottle” on my local radio station and purchased “Winter In America” (still my original worn out copy) my musical journey was immediately taken down another very important path. •

Recently republished by Canongate Books, this collection of poems carries the reader from the global topics of political hypocrisy and the dangers posed by capitalist culture to painfully personal themes and the realities of everyday life.
