 terms that have been used to describe the great Gil Scott-Heron, who m
 ore humbly refers to himself simply as a \"piano player from Tennessee
 \". Most famous for his era-defining 1970's poem, \"The Revolution Wil
 l Not Be Televised,\" Gil Scott-Heron’s politically charged material
  made him a stalwart figure in the 1970’s civil rights movement. His
  lyrical content covered topics like the superficiality of television 
 and mass consumerism, the hypocrisy of some would-be Black revolutiona
 ries, white middle-class ignorance of the difficulties faced by inner-
 city residents, and fear of homosexuals. Not only a pioneer of blues, 
 jazz and funk, his honesty, matter-of-fact delivery and fearlessness t
 o address important social issues in the face of media criticism made 
 him one of the foremost progenitors of contemporary hip-hop and spoken
  word. Among countless other allusions and references, Public Enemy us
 ed the phrase “the revolution will not be televised” to open its c
 lassic 1987 album It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back and Ka
 nye West sampled Gil’s timeless “Home is Where the Hatred Is” on
  the Common-supported “On My Way” from 2005’s Late Registration.
 \n\nIn the current global climate of social and political upheaval, Gi
 l Scott-Heron has picked the perfect time to resurface and offer his c
 atalogue up for consumption again, along with some new material. Gil i
 s currently close to completion on his latest book, The Last Holiday, 
 which tells the story of Stevie Wonder's 1980 campaign to make Martin 
 Luther King Jr. Day a national holiday. Gil Scott' new album, \"I'm He
 re Now, will be out, Feb 8,2010....extraordinary,new music, from the M
 aster..\n\nPHOTO CREDIT: Alex Damashek\n\n\nhttp://gilscottheron.net/\
