The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

Today marks the birthday of poet, musician and author Gil Scott Heron.

I remember one warm summer evening many years ago I was standing at a stop light waiting to cross a street and Gil Scott Heron walks up next to me. "Do you have a cigarette", he casually asked. "No", I replied. We both went on our way.

In the video below, Gil performs one of my favorite songs by him. Enjoy...
