Before I ask you to watch this clip, if you are not familiar with Gil-Scott, that's a shame, he is , to me the most important african american musician coming out of the americas.
And this particular song I ask you now to watch, and listen , and please do , out of respect for this true legend, please listen to every word that comes out of this mans brain.
I remember when Bush Junior first won stole the election, it so reminded me of this song from Gil-Scott-Heron
it still rings so true , all these years later

the above is a great live version, so hard to listen to the lyrics with that awesome bass riff, so here, below is the full 12 minute version/ R.E.S.P.E.C.T.
