Music lives on in strange ways, I was reminded last night of the great Marvin Gaye as a man with mental illnesses sang 'What's Going On' passing by us on a lonesome street; his voice was inflicted with the world weariness of life which sounded more like a carton of juice crushed beneath the weight of a passing car than the sweet, sensuous and powerful voice of Marvin Gaye, yet this man with a mental illness singing from his heart without censor, was more moving than any soulless cover you'll find these days, in bars or cashew nut dispensers. Gil Scott-Heron died today, his age is not important, what day he died on is not important, an obituary is just offensive. Lets take a moment to think how fleeting life seems. Now lets go listen to his music and live life!
