Brown Sauce · Post by **Brown Sauce** » Sun Nov 04, 2007 3:55 pm

I think so, heard it on the beeb a while ago. I think he gets "picked on".

just found this ..

WIKIpedia

On July 5, 2006, Scott-Heron was sentenced to two to four years in a New York State prison for violating a plea deal on a drug-possession charge by leaving a treatment center. Scott-Heron said he is HIV-positive and claimed the in-patient rehabilitation center stopped giving him his medication. The prosecution countered that Scott-Heron had once skipped out for an appearance with singer Alicia Keys.[3] Scott-Heron's sentence was to run until July 13, 2009. He was paroled on May 23, 2007.[4] He has since begun performing live again, starting with a show at SOBs in New York on 13 September 2007. On stage, he stated that he and his musicians were working on a new album, and that he had resumed writing a book entitled "The Last Holiday" (previously on long-term hiatus) about Stevie Wonder and his successful attempt to have Martin Luther King's birthday made a national holiday in the USA. Gil was arrested October 10, the day before a second SOB'S performance scheduled for October 11, 2007 on felony posession of cocaine charges.

ho hum ..

also on a lighter note, but a fantastic bit of trivia ,

Scott-Heron's father, Giles "Gil" Heron (nicknamed "The Black Arrow") was a Jamaican football player who played for Glasgow's Celtic Football Club in the 1950s. In fact, when he came to Scotland from the United States to join Celtic in 1951 he became the team's first black player. At the time, Celtic F.C. was the team of Scotland's Irish immigrants.

that is a great bit of info about his dad - proving that if you come from good Celtic stock, you're bound to be great!

from Georges speech @ Oxford, posted by faceless ....

Mr Galloway began his speech by comparing Gordon Brown and David Cameron to "two cheeks" of the same backside. He said a move to increase the police's stop-and-search powers, discussed by the Conservative and Labour leaders at Prime Minister's Questions this week, would only breed contempt for the police and society.
