What can I say except this:
Winter In America
I had the pleasure of seeing this tour. His many albums and decades as a brave, soulful, unpretentious performer and an uncompromising and poetic songwriter will live on.

A shame. A great musician and an iconic figure, beyond music.

What's the word? Peace. RIP GS-H.

Wow. That explains why I was hearing "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" by the Last Poets on my local college radio station this morning. His legacy will long outlive him.
