ABOUT-INTRO


















Dear Brother Gil Scott Heron:

This is just in case - wherever he is, Gil Scott Heron doesn't know that
we remember, and that we love and respect him.


Because we most certainly do.






Gil Scott-Heron, And Then Some


Genius Burning Brightly

"When I asked how Billie was, lamenting that I, a first-grader, hadn't been old enough to see her myself, Mom shook her head sadly and said, "She's almost dead. It wasn't the same.

She was high and sick. I don't think she'll be around much longer."
