Scene from the great movie Patton, largely based on the life of General George S. Patton. Patton goes crazy when he talks to a soldier suffering from shell shock and sends “the coward” to the front.
“The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” is a poem and song by Gil Scott-Heron. It was the B-side to Scott-Heron’s first single, “Home Is Where the Hatred Is”, from his album Pieces of a Man (1971). It was also included on his compilation album, The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (1974).
It’s interesting to know that long-time Miles Davis bass player Ron Carter played the funky bass on this track.
Just grab a drink, sit back, take your time, watch the vids in sequence and enjoy this concert in Milan 1964 by the legendary ‘Second Great Quintet’ of Miles Favis. Kudos to Tom Beek for helping me find this. Buy the DVD at Amazon.
