RIP Gil Scott Heron — more than a musician, a man of words.
Given all that's been going here, especially with relation to the Fukushima nuclear crisis of course, this song is sadly topical.
Not so well known is that it was about the failures of the US's first commercial liquid metal fast breeder reactor in 1966 — which was well before Three Mile Island.
I love this version, very late period Gil, from July of last year, recorded for the Austria radio station 98.3 Superfly...
