Revolution Will Not Be Televised

Where do you start with Gil Scott-Heron? Poet, musician, activist, performer, author, icon, orator? All of them apply and more. His influence is without question, and although so revered it is almost a clich�, his classic totem �The Revolution Will Not Be Televised� is charged with so much power and ire that it still resonates so many decades after it was first recorded. If only today's generation were able to conjure up a voice as powerful as Gil Scott-Heron, then Simon Cowell may not have his own way quite so often.
