Time Warp... 1981: B-Movie | Gil Scott-Heron. #BlackHistoryMonth


Find any song about humanity... life.. from decades ago and I promise some form of it is still applicable now.  2023.
Ahem.  And now a word from Hall of Fame poet and musician, Gil Scott-Heron.  

What has happened is that in the last 20 years, 
America has changed from a producer to a consumer 
And all consumers know that when the producer names the tune, the consumer has got to dance 
That's the way it is 
We used to be a producer - very inflexible at that, and now we are consumers and, finding it difficult to understand 
Natural resources and minerals will change your world 
 The House claims all ties 
Jobs are down, money is scarce, and common sense is at an all-time low on heavy trading 
Movies were looking better than ever, and now no one is looking, because we're starring in a " B" movie '

Gil Scott-Heron


This past weekend... I heard the news friday night while I was having a date with the water and mr. 'cardi superior. I decided I was going to wait until Monday to make the post. My homie grace posted a song by him up on twit... I RT'd it and said the lyrics... it wasn't until she replied...that I realized he passed. Sigh
