R.I.P. GIL SCOTT HERON

Muere anoche el legendario Gil Scott Heron, poeta, cantautor, considerado uno de los padres del rap.
Impactó con su "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised", un poema/canción en el que hacia una critica al consumismo televisivo de estos tiempos y reivindicaba, a mi parecer, que la verdadera revolucion no seria televisada puesto que, cuando el pueblo realmente se levante contra el capitalismo debe "atacar" directamente elementos tan superficiales como la television.
Su carrera estuvo marcada por su protesta contra el poder del blanco, la sociedad consumisma y capitalista, contra el poder politico, etc.
Lo que es seguro, es que estamos en un momento de cambio. La gente se esta concienciando poco a poco de la necesidad de revelarse contra un sistema que ya no convence a casi nadie y tened presente que si realmente queremos una revolucion debemos tomar los medios de comunicacion, puesto que son una gran fuerza de manipulacion para el pueblo y contra el pueblo. Creo que este hombre era un visionario, y sin enrrollarme más os dejo su " The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" :
 He died last night the legendary Gil Scott Heron, poet, songwriter, considered one of the fathers of rap.
Impressed with his "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, "a poem / song in which to a critique of consumerism television these days and claimed, in my opinion, that the real revolution would not be televised because when the people actually rise against capitalism must "attack"directly so superficial elements like television.
His career was marked by protests against the power of white society and capitalist consumisma against political power, etc.
What is certain is that we are in a time of change. People are gradually becoming aware of the need to rebel against a system that does not convince almost anyone, and bear in mind that if we really want a revolution must take the media as they are a great force for the people handling and against the people. I think that this man was a visionary. I leave you with his "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised"
