Don and Gil Scott-Heron

Suppose Weiner is right and Don lives until 1980. Sally gives Don a copy Gil Scott-Heron’s “pieces of a man” in 1971. Does he listen it through? Or cut it short like when Megan puts on Revolver? Though Don was mostly cynical of the social movements of the late 60s, I’d imagine he’d recognize the cunning in Heron’s wordplay. Thoughts?
