Song 32: The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, Gil Scott-Heron

The New Statesman put it best:

Gil Scott-Heron's The Revolution Will Not Be Televised is reminiscent of Allen Ginsberg's 1956 "Howl", or Bob Dylan's Subterranean Homesick Blues. It is the liner notes to a generation, a relentless stream of cultural references against hand-beaten drums.

Listen to this one twice.
