GSH is the shit. I hate to hear that the brotha's having problems. I just hope he knows how much positivity and intellect he put into the world.

Anybody who's not up on him, should check him out. My favorites of his work are: H20gate, The Bottle, and The Revolution will not be televised.


God bless you brotha Gil...

Great song. However, you really have to hear him perform it to get the full effect of what he's saying.

I was just playing his records to everybody at work a few hours ago.

It's great to kick off the day with "I think I'll call it a morning". Of course he was as racist bastard as it gets, but I can't deny the excellence of the music. And I guess the times were a bit different back then. In a creative sense of course.
