We don't hear enough about Gil Scott-Heron these days. And when we do, we often get the same few crumbs: his invention of a sort of proto-hiphop, some reference to his social concerns, and, of course, "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" (which too often is wildly misinterpreted). What about Gil Scott-Heron the unique stage performer? What about how hilariously funny he was? What about the singular vocal instrument that he developed? How about the utterly distinctive songwriter? And who better to listen with than guitarist/composer/bandleader Vernon Reid? The WKCR archives will yield rare treasures, and Vernon, as always, has a plethora of precious insights. Host Mitch Goldman will also ask him about his band Living Colour's upcoming rare NYC appearance at the Hard Rock Cafe on June 19th. It's on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR-HD or wkcr.org Monday (6/10) from 6pm to 9pm. Or join us next week when it goes up on the Deep Focus podcast on your favorite podcasting app or at https://mitchgoldman.podbean.com/. Either way it's ad-free, all free, totally non-commercial.
