The editorial review was just about dead on. Gil Scott Heron, in his poetic genius, brought to light stories of the people, stories of the streets, and an honest look at the role politics played with the people. Though "not for everybody" perhaps, his lyrics to "Whitey on the Moon" ring true once again, today. Powerful, powerful stuff from a man in a class all by himself. I only wish there were more videos of his other works.If you have a love for the written word, for poetry that strikes you, makes you think and has a rhythm to it -- also have a look at Pinero (starring Benjamin Bratt) and Cyrano de Bergerac (starring Jose Ferrer). These 3 videos, though totally different, are each wonderful works.
