    Gil Scott Heron, the REAL Godfather of rap, passed at age 62 today.

    It is sad that he had passed. He lived to see revolutions being televised the world over.

    'The Revolution Will Not be Televised', the statement by Heron meant that true cultural and political revolutions take place in the hearts, heads and minds of the PEOPLE, and can't be manipulated and controlled by mass media corporate interests.

    However, it is ironic that we literally live in the age of Big Brother where surveillance cameras are everywhere and even our phones are equipped with cameras.

    In the 21st century, EVERYTHING is televised.

    Back in the day there were three networks with info being filters and dictatorships controlling the media in their countries now it is televised but ,with a whole lot of outlets. If China,Iran,and North Korea fall because a very brilliant hacker punched through the censorship software then it would be a real revolution that can shook the planet.
