Book Overview
Now And Then is not merely a collection of a songwriter's lyrics; the song-poems of this undisputed 'bluesologist' triumphantly stand on their own, evoking the rhythm and urgency which have distinguished Gil Scott-Heron's career. This collection of poems carries the reader from the global topics of political hypocrisy and the dangers posed by capitalist culture to painfully personal themes and the realities of everyday life. His message is black, political, historically accurate, urgent, uncompromising and mature and as relevant now as ever.

We Need Gil-Scott Heron
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
As a social studies and history teacher of teens, I highly recommend letting Gil-Scott Heron address the problems of racism, class and propaganda to your students. My freshmen understood and appreciated "Whitey on the Moon" when we were looking at decisions the federal government made during the Civil Rights years and beyond.
to-the-point poetry
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Gil Scott-Heron's lyrics and poetry are harsh, sharp and painfully to-the-point in the description of his time and age. Fifty years from now, he will be seen as the guy who really spoke the truth, televised or not.
