Small Talk at 125th and Lenox
by: Gil Scott-Heron
In 1970 Gil Scott-Heron had something to say, & hell is it worth listening to. He's angry, but he has reason. He tells us that "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" & he means it with a conviction that consumes his young (as at the time he was) soul. The arrangements are simplistic & the poetry is harsh,but they capture the volatile atmosphere of the time, not for those who are conservative or easily offended.
