GRGR(4) black and white

[pporteous at worley.co.nz]

check out turn of the 70's Gil Scott Heron for some passionate, lyrically
in-your-face, amazing music, regarding what it was/is to be black in the
slums of LA/NY/Chicago/etc USA - Whitey on the Moon, Get out of the Ghetto
Blues, No Knock, The Revolution not be Televised, Home is Where the Hatred
is, etc, etc.

"a rat done bit my sister Nell, and whitey's on the moon,
her face and arms began to swell, and whitey's on the moon,
now I can't pay my doctor bills, but whitey's on the moon,
etc"

Pynchon surely would have heard his stuff?
