First time I heard of Gill was on 29th Dec. 2021 on the radio coming back from Cornwall. Love Whitey on the Moon, always thought the same myself. Loads of money spent on going to space and now Mars ect, while people struggling and dying etc, seems just crazy.

I'm of Gil Scott-Heron's generation but only recently came across his work. After hearing some of his brilliant pieces I wondered why I'd never heard of him or his spot-on analyses of events back in the day. But I guess we know why...

To boycott 2020 is to boycott stopping Trump. Those who will not participate in the democratic process are enemies of that process. All it does otherwise is perpetuate one's sense of helplessness. But, that gives one an excuse to continue to complain as excuse not to act. VOTE BLUE 2020.
