Just a short article that appeared in Saturday's edition of our local paper
that may be of interest to some of you.
'American singer, poet and author Gil Scott-Heron flew into Brisbane
from overseas with cocaine, a Brisbane court was told on Thursday. The
entertainer appeared in the Brisbane Magistrates Court facing three related
charges. Scott-Heron is touring Australia with fellow black musician Ben
Harper. He was ordered to surrender his passport to the Australian Federal
Police and appear again in court on April 10.'
I'll let you know if I hear any more after the next hearing.
Marc.
PS. I'm not too sure why the adjective 'black' was necessary - race has
nothing to do with this.
