Customer Reviews

brilliant and genius

Gil Scott is a genius. Brilliant and Inspiring. In case you didn't know, he is back touring this year. I saw him earlier this year in DC. His soul, his music, his poetry is invigorating and inspiring. This book is a must-have!!!!!

We Need Gil-Scott Heron

As a social studies and history teacher of teens, I highly recommend letting Gil-Scott Heron address the problems of racism, class and propaganda to your students. My freshmen understood and appreciated "Whitey on the Moon" when we were looking at decisions the federal government made during the Civil Rights years and beyond.

to-the-point poetry

Gil Scott-Heron's lyrics and poetry are harsh, sharp and painfully to-the-point in the description of his time and age. Fifty years from now, he will be seen as the guy who really spoke the truth, televised or not.

A Poet's Poet
