whitey on the moon

did you know everything that you wanted to say, but afraid to utter or more importantly you thought it was futile, has already been said by the artists of 68 generation.

i want to start with an artist who crossed paths with the 68 movement but more importantly he was a part of the black nationalist art. i am talking about the grandfather of hip hop, Gil Scott Heron.



i learned just yesterday he was the one who announced that the revolution will not be televised. a sentence often used in popular culture but seldom understood. maybe critics were right, revolution will be televised or even podcasted, but this did not stop the greek young activist to occupy a television channel to ask people to stop watching tv and go out.
