Gil Scott-Heron - The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
Description
Gil Scott Heron - The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
An explosive context
An open work
Since its release, not a year has passed without the song being cited and diverted. Without a more or less subtle allusion being made to it. So, how many newspaper or magazine articles? How many rap or rock songs? How many advertisements have not borrowed the title from the text to make it: "the revolution will not be televised", "the revolution will be televised", "the revolution should be televised", or even "television will be revolutionized"? A marker of its time, the song has become a shortcut. A generic term to mean "protest", "activism", sometimes labeled limited to African-American activism. But sometimes also used as an anthem speaking for all possible revolutions.
