It was pretty neat of him to express himself with art and tell people what was on his mind. Remember when you were in that art camp back in seventh grade and you made that collage against the war? That was very creative." HAHA!! Onion hits the nail on the head once again! “I can understand why Gil Scott-Heron was frustrated.

Maybe the best concerts I have ever seen. He is in his own category and I hate to describe as any particular genre but he was a unique combo of passionate black dylan poet jazz artist musician visionary performer extraordinare. Loved the timbre of his voice. I was privileged to see him and now must go up into my attic and unearth the posters of the concert that I purloined from the show. H2O Gate Blues, Winter in America, still relevant. RIP Gil Scott I was a student at Florida State University when Gil Scott Heron come to play circa ’76-77. saw both shows.

Went with a friend of mine who named his son Gill after him. We saw him At Sommerset House in london last summer, such a wonderful evening, such a shame.
