I was twelve when I got this cassette. Played it non-stop. Today, 42 years later, I pressed play on this video. I sang loudly and hadn't forgotten a word. Something about that guy just resonated with me. I miss him.
Nasci em 1971 mas apenas tive contato com a música dele após os meus 40 anos, já são 12 anos escutando as músicas dele, Gil era um artista a frente do tempo dele!
When "The Bottle" came out I was like 14. But the message was clear growing up around winos. But "God will continue to look out for the children". "But the fools will have to look out for themselves". I was 20 when this album hit in "79". The guy was a poet and musical prophet like so many R&B singers. Brian Jackson on the synthesizer really made "1980" futuristic.
I still jam this song from when I first heard it when my brother bought it home new from the warehouse music 🎵 store thank you brother TopCat for the rare style of music 🎶🎼 respectfully your lil brother Martin Sapo Madueno 🐸💪
The album's 'the Mind of G.S.H.', 'Real Eyes,' 'Revelation" and 'Moving Target.' That's it. He had a song in '83-4, called "Re-Ron (about ronald reagan)." There could be a few others, within that time.
The robot mayor is there to shake your hand But he ain't never seen himself no earth man Heard a funny word he just don't understand But he hope that it don't mean you need a piece of land---

I remember first hearing this song when I was a kid in 1979. We where looking forward to the 1980s as a futuristic Buck Rogers type decade.

That's an interesting perspective, I'm curious, does the future live up to your idea of it yet?
The 80s is my favorite decade I have ever live in.
