Gil Scott-Heron

Futurama fans be aware--"The Future Will Not Be Televised" is a insanely great track by Gil Scott-Heron. That's the track they have used as the base for the new Futurama ads. A spoken-word jazz poet, he could well be one of the founding fathers of modern rap and hip hop. I recommend everyone check him out. At least get a greatest hits package. Some of the stuff he did about Ronald Reagan is genius. He's had a long history of problems related to drugs but I think he's out there performing again. If he came to town I'd be insane not to grab a ticket and check that show out.
