I got Hip to GSH in 1974 by my older sister, I was 15 AT THE time, I joined the Army in 1977 at 18, I proceeded to purchase anything and everything I could find by GSH once I reached my permanent duty station Ft. Ord CA, i hipped all the militant minded troops, like myself to Gil. Little did I realize I would face some of the same demons Gil faced later in my life. Very grateful to be able to come out on the "Other side" check spirits Lp. Love ya'll
But, don't you despair, there ain't no rule that says you gotta care, you can't always swear your deaf dumb an blind! Waoh, so good! The future prophet 💫😎
Brilliant Man had Limited Success in Monetary Gain. But Had all the Truly Important understanding of What truly matters in this Patectic World. Brilliance and Understanding of Life is Priceless. RIP 🙏 Money for Souls? So Damn Sad!
"So come come on and cooperate with me until you get too old To retaliate against the fact that I took your mind And left you and your people far behind."
Awesome!!!! I had forgotten this song. Absolute masterpiece. It brings tears to my eyes. Pure creative genius. Now, the bad guys have curtailed the distribution of such genius to Afrikans. It doesn't matter. TRUTH always rises!
This was a Gil Scott-Heron cut I believe was on song book 6 which came out at the end of 1978 what I liked about this so much was I was in junior high and they talked about politics and a great betrayal unfortunately most of them wipe themselves out with drugs and alcohol political minded folks and the other irony of it instead of just saying live it up and kiss tomorrow goodbye I'm living through the truth of this Gil Scott-Heron song to this day 2018
At the start Gil says "Velcome to Vildgolia", the title was spelt wrong on original release. * So come on, come on and co-operate with me until you get too old To retaliate against the fact that I took your mind
'Delta Man' is a very powerful allegory to Black History and, a hurricane of inspiration [to] me. Especially the end.....a battle btw two Titans, antagonist retreats as 'heroes closes in to supremacy! ".....do you understand?!"
I wish this album and the rest of his Arista catalog was available for streaming. I can't play my record in the car. ,🤘🏾

Never gets old.
How many people can't see Beyond themselves. Wake up to see What peace looks like ♥️

This song reminds me of the Brooklyn Bridge..and who was that musicians' name in Philadelphia? Oh, yeah.....

Really beautiful song, but what does it mean Vidgolia?
