By now I’m sure you’ve heard that Gil Scott-Heron died yesterday. As you may remember, I love him. I’ve been listening to him pretty much non-stop all morning and then all of a sudden, by mistake, I hit the wrong button and Joe Jackson’s “I’m The Man” blared out of the speakers.
And so the Joe Jackson segment of May 28th commenced. I realize you wouldn’t normally connect Gil Scott-Heron and Joe Jackson, but that’s the way things happen here in Margauxville.
Joe Jackson is one of those artists that I always appreciate and love but for some reason hardly ever actually listen to. Yet every time I do, I wonder why there isn’t a mandatory Joe Jackson hour in every single one of my days.
There is, however, a mandated 4 minutes for him in your day, starting as soon as you download the song. Go on, do it.
He’s the man.
