"The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" Really? Wanna Bet?

RIP Brother Gil, he was a radical to the core but had some sweet tunes. "The Bottle" is powerful.

The current crop of rappers are brain dead morons compared to this guy. He may have been a communist, but he was literate and funny.

The REVOLUTION isn't going to arrive from the direction he perceived.

You got that right.

That was back in the day when, at best, we had reception for 3 or 4 channels which literally could not afford to waste airtime on politics. The revolution couldn't have been televised then. Now, we can't turn the images of the revolution off, not even watching the fucking Disney Channel where the first lady shows up to tell my kids what to eat.

Hey! I think I got it!

A REAL revolution will not be televised.

Note teh coverage of the Tea-Party vs OWS.

He is right.
