On April 19, 2000, Gil Scott-Heron appeared on a BBC television interview show called HARD TALK. The interview is fascinating as Gil gets asked point blank about his drug issues. And its fascinating in how brilliant a man Gil is no matter his state of mind, body, and voice. This AudioBlog shares the full twenty-four minute interview. Good stuff.
To listen, I recommend you download the following mp3 filed (right click on ‘#5 GSH AudioBlog’ and ‘SAVE AS’) and then play it off your computer.
