RIP, Gil Scott Heron

Another great has passed. "The Bottle" is a regular on my Saturday playlist.
Will spin his stuff tonight in honor of a great voice of conscience.

Excerpt from "The Bottle", one of my all-time favorites.

RIP Gil. What's the word?

I just found this out yesterday. Another giant gone; him and Beefheart.

I wish I had taken the opportunity to go see him in Cambridge a few years back.

:sigh:
