New Gil Scott-Heron Album
On Monday Gil Scott-Heron will be releasing a new album. It his first in 15 years. I am, to say the least, excited. I remember the first time I heard Gil’s We Almost Lost Detroit. It pretty much blew my mind. Everything I’ve heard from him since then, most of it dating from the 60s and 70s, has been similarly impressive. He had some impressive observations about the similarities between American and South African apartheid. One of my favorite lines from his earlier work is "I believe in the separation of church and state, especially that church and that state."
