Friday May 27, 2011, Chicago-born Gil Scott-Heron, poet, musical innovator, author, and activist died at the age of 62. I had already nearly completed this episode, but considering the fact that the underlying theme was storytelling in music, it seemed only fitting to dedicate this episode to one of the great storytellers of both the 20th and 21st centuries.
