It struck me as I listen to Gil Scott Heron's uber-rant "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.", that it's real, it's pissed off, but so goddamn focused. It's not attacking magazines printing false statements about some rapper, or about the record company trying to shut down their truth or any of that sufficiently already explored faux-bullshit keeping it real for “mah tru fhanz” crap, but in my sustaining of the moment I accidentally skipped over Gomez's haunting "We haven’t turned around" for what I saw labeled "Chocolate Salty Balls" only to find it was Ashley Simpson’s "pieces of you." So that's what all that hub-bub was.
Thank the Vikings in Valhalla it was followed by Black Sabbath's "Back Street Kid"
Nobody I know will ever take my rock and roll away from me, not even Whitey on the Moon.
