Rest In Peace

Gil Scott-Heron

April 1, 1949 – May 27, 2011

According to Harold Camping, a California Christian radio broadcaster, today was the date of The Rapture.  Through his network of radio stations, billboards, newspaper ads and teams of believers traveling through world, the date of May 21, 2011 has become synonymous with the end of the world.

Houdini he is not.
