Thanks, Burkhard. Sad news that. In days gone by, I wore out a few
cassettes of his music. He was heart & soul.
Chris Cunningham's spin is nearly a eulogy:

More recent, I've had Jamie xx's remix of GS-H's "I'm New Here"
on
quite often the last months:

Long Live Gil Scott-Heron!!!

He must have known he was due. It puts his last album into perspective
now. I was confused about why he had gone so dark but now I am enlightened
:-)

Scott-Heron wasn't into the politics of the personal, much. He was one
of the first to denounce the notion that to change the world, you
should focus on changing yourself. I was too young to understand what
he meant back then, but now I do. Just makes him even more of a
legend.

It's a sign of the ages.
All I can say is: peace go with you brother.
(Indeed, so many of his songs seem so appropriate as eulogies or epitaphs).
