Sunday Globe Special: The Revolution Will Be Blogged

Already has been. It is simply continuing. 

And the Globe censored and truncated what was in my printed paper? 

Why?

"Gil Scott-Heron, at 62; musician sang, spoke about social injustice" by Nekesa Mumbi Moody, Associated Press / May 29, 2011

NEW YORK —  Gil-Scott Heron, widely considered one of the godfathers of rap with his piercing social and political prose laid against the backdrop of minimalist percussion, flute, and other instrumentation, died Friday at age 62.  

He didn't like that, and yet here the PtB use it in the first sentence. 

So that is where this is going, huh?

Not Jewish or an elitist servant or war criminal so they get the slight in the supremacist PoS.

His was a life full of groundbreaking, revolutionary music and personal turmoil that included a battle with crack cocaine and stints behind bars in his later years....  

Maybe that's where artists get things. It would explain why I'm not one.

Mr. Scott-Heron was known for work that reflected the fury of black America in the post-civil rights era and spoke to the social and political disparities in the country....  

And WHERE are THOSE VOICES NOW?

--more--" 

Interesting that the obfuscating obit omitted his most famous work "The Revolution Will Not be Televised," 'eh?

I'm going to let someone else give the eulogy.
