It was a shock to learn of the death of singer, poet, and icon Gil Scott Heron.
I'll never forget the one brief encounter I had with Gil one evening many many years ago outside of Tacoma Station in Washington, DC. While waiting to cross the street, he casually walked up to me and asked me if I had a cigarette. I didn't, he replied, "ok, thanks" and we went our separate ways.
Rest in peace Gil, your voice, words, and wisdom will be missed.
