Rap and hip hop would have, could have, and should have claimed Gil Scott as the baby daddy and taken a different fork.

Ah, Nick. You crazy dreamer. If the world of pop music was fair, Joe Pernice would be a prince and Ron Sexsmith and Kathleen Edwards would be the King and Queen of Canada.

Hey....thanks for stopping by.

Yea, I'm a dreamer, and don't worry, scanner. Gill Scott had nothing to say about the adult cable channels -- that will always be televised.

I was just a baby when this was released, but funny how it carried on and on, even though it references issues from 60's. Also, too bad Scott-Heron can't seem to stay out of jail these days...drugs are bad.

Thanks for sharing this classic!
