Gil was wrong and I knew it at the time. Not only would the revolution, if there was one (damn unlikely), be televised, it would be a miniseries on CBS, sponsored by Exxon and Mr. Clean.Noonstar is right. The new web site’s presentation stinks. Worse yet, searches don’t work right. I can search for Keith Knight and get “think,” but if I search for “think” I get a 404. Brilliant.
I got the whole quote (except as it ran off at the bottom, which I took to be a substitute for elipsis). A great tribute. I have been unable to get Th(ink) for some time and glad to see it available again.
“Picture a man of nearly thirty Who seemed twice as old with clothes torn and dirty Give him a job shining shoes Or cleaning out toilets with bus station crews Give him six children with nothing to eat Expose them to life on a ghetto street Tie an old rag around his wife’s head And have her pregnant and lying in bed Stuff them all in a Harlem house And then tell them how bad things are down South.”
The man was pure genius – humor, pathos, rage, and despair pushing our consciousnesses higher and higher. You will be missed, brother. RIP

What is it with today’s (th)ink? Enlarged out of all proportion so that you can only see the extreme left side? Phooey.

That’s too bad the strip is cut off like this. It’s a tribute to Gil Scott-Heron

Whoa, need a reverse-zoom on that! And I suspect control-clicking will lead to a better view of the image…

The image shows up fine for me. Whatever the rest of you had seen must have been fixed.
