Gil used to be a good looking black man. when he was in his twenties.
as it says in black and white “the god Dam White man” this could be the book title i expect it will be hard to find!
It may be worth looking out a copy of “the vulture” or “the nigger factory”, sometimes published in one binding. both are by Gill
He’s coming to San Fransisco On October 2, 2009, a Friday!!!! I CAN”T WAIT!!!!
Their known in the U.K as simply Celtic. And yes John Barnes had a good go at management but unfortunately not good enough.
The Celtics were 1st team to ever draft a black player and the 1st team to have a black coach.
In 09:24 there is a advertisment for a book that i should read… any one knows what that book is ??
say it LOUD!!!!
I love tge blues music in this. His style had some funky jazz as well
When is he coming to San Francisco? Is there somewhere I can get a schedule of upcoming performances? I would go to New York just to see him.
were all actors in a b movie.
Gil at SOB’s june 10
I am absolutely staggered to find out that Gil’s father actually played for Celtic back in the 1950’s. Considering their reputation back in the day vis a vis Black Players no wonder Gils a figher. Still Celtic are a great team though for Scots.
Gil is the Godfather.
african american culture is rich, I dont know why people keep telling them they have no culture
02:45 – G’on the Celts!
what the……..did he fall at 04:16 the kid on the car hood looks to say, “damn, did he fall?”…..lol

Happy 60th Gil!!
