Gil Scott-Heron interview

I have blogged before about my penchant for the songs of Gil Scott-Heron. I am not a fan of his politics but still can't stop listening to his music. The BBC have a six minute interview (dated 4 March) with Gil Scott-Heron the Today Programme listen again page, take a listen and note how he talks about Barack Obama, just six weeks after a certain blogger remarked "I have just realised who Barack Obama reminds me of when he is full rhetorical flow, and that is Gil Scott Heron.".
