"The Godfather of Rap" playing at Toad's on Wed (7/2)


He may have had some problems with coke in the last few years that have landed him in jail, but legendary street poet/musician/activist Gil Scott-Heron is still someone worth checking out live, if only to catch some of his soulful '70s material like "Lady Day & John Coltrane" or "The Bottle."
He will be performing in Richmond with funky local sax player, Plunky & Oneness, at Toad's Richmond on Wed. Tickets are $25.
Check out this guy doing a funky dance to one of Scott Heron's best known songs, "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" (a phrase he originally coined).
