www.brasschecktv.com/page/562.html Performed twenty-seven years ago, poet Gil Scott-Heron nailed it perfectly. He's talking about the Reagan era from within the Reagan era, but his comments could not be more accurate if they'd been recorded yesterday.

I remember fondly his 1970 album, "Small Talk at 125th and Lenox", which had the powerful song "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised". What an incredible time of music, 1955 - 1985, at least for pop music. That was the same time as Spooky Tooth's peak. King Crimson's "Wake of Poseidon", and so many others.
Oh, yes, his "Raygun" observations could be current. I wonder whether Obama will pull off a mask, and we will see Reagen underneath.
