mountain bed Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 I gotta second GregRVA's suggestion regarding Gil-Scott Heron. That guy has written some of the most incendiary political material ever. One of my personal favorites. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LouieBI taped off of PBS the doc "Black Wax" a long time ago. In fact, knowing it was going to be on TV was a catalyst for buying my first VCR. If it's available, I would recommend it to anyone that is interested in GSH. Winter in America & Midnight Band (& to a lesser extent Moving Target) are fantastic records!
