SocaSeven this is so fantastict but where is the ending? Where Gil says “ain’t really a life, ain’t really a life, ain’t really, ain’t nothing but a movie” This is really the punch line for the whole song/poem!
Will you please repost this great live performance in its entirety? Thanks!
You could insert W or any presidents name that came after RayGun and it would still be just as relevant. I think that we have our John Wayne now though.
I know. Years ago, he was brilliant, funny, and so underappreciated. It’s the ultimate sad irony that the gifted man who wrote something as perceptive as The Bottle, succumbed to drug addiction himself to the point that it really destroyed his life.

George Bush talked about Reagan’s Voodoo Economics back in 1979 when Bush was competing for the republicrat nomination.
It took me about 6 minutes to realize this wasn’t stand up comedy, hilarious nonetheless

Heron is a great poet– and sadly one of the last.
Agreed, except I don’t think John was a thief.

I think he’s been too messed up with his own problems. Actually it’s quite tragic.
i wonder why Gil Scott didn’t hit ole George W
I can’t stop watching this.

Sometimes it takes a clear coherent mind to understand the meaning of the words of a true poet. The confusion may be in the ear of the beholder.

George Bush called Reagan’s economic plan “voodoo economics” when they were competing in the 1980 Republican primaries.
This is as coherent as it gets. Go to school?
OMG he says “Voodoo Economics” by George “Papa Doc” Bush @ 6:29 — how did he know?
