Will the revolution be televised? Discuss.

Hi friends. I just wanted to pop in real quick and tell you I found a song I like.

Back in high school, so, so long ago, I watched a video (in Voices of American Culture class) about the late 60s/early 70s that featured a song that fucking rocked. And I wanted to find it ever since. I would think of it sometimes and wonder, and I finally did something about it.

I actually used all three lame-ass search sites: Google, Wikipedia and YouTube. And here it is.

"The Revolution Will Not Be Televised," by Gil Scott Heron. It is cool.

Enjoy.

Love,

Steve

1. STEVE are you seriously too indie for Google and wikipedia?
2. parts of that video bear an unfortunate resemblance to a commercial for mind of mencia.
3. it's still cool though. have you ever heard "little star of bethlehem" by can?

Hey, hey, it's not that I'm too indie for Google and Wikipedia. Just using all three for one thing was a little ridiculous.

Never seen that commercial. BEANERS!

Never heard that song. Sorry.
