Gil Scott Heron 'Televised Revolution' Funk T-Shirt Everyone in the world knows this cool phrase by now... but I don't think even 10% of you actually know where it came from... hmmm? Well, the classic quote on this wicked jazz t-shirt is from the spoken-word 70's funk-master, Gil-Scott Heron... one of the godfathers of hip-hop and black activism!! 'The Revolution Will Not Be Televised' is the second track on his debut live album 'Small Talk at 125th & Lenox' (1970), as well as the first song on his followup studio album 'Pieces of a Man' (1971) (both on Flying Dutchman Records)... this street beat poet took a very unconventional approach to his music AND his recording career! Anyway, if you haven't heard this funk poem yet, you really need visit YouTube right now and listen to it... then come back and buy this shirt for it's dual purpose message... ONE: Gil-Scott Heron is the coolest mofo to ever live among us... and TWO: The Revolution Will Not Be Televised!
