	Man, Fridays have been bad this month. Gil had one of the morning matinee slots at Coachella '99 on one of the smaller stages. At the time I had absolutely no idea how fortunate I was to have caught him and to have heard "There's a War Going On," which I STILL don't think has ever made it onto an album. He always bristled if you called him a progenitor of rap music, but there was no denying he could lay down a great rap. He loved jazz and he loved cocaine; I wish he'd loved one more and one less - but don't know if either was possible. RIP.

	I saw him perform in Chicago around '85 or so. Definitely one of a kind. Musically unique with great passion for his politics. The revolution will not go better with Coke....
