My favorite def poet is Dahlak Brathwaite. The way he articulates his perspective on certain issues or certain situations is very intense and inspirational!!!!

Hello all,
I'm looking for a little help finding a poet and the episode he was in.

He was an Australian guy, bald, his stage name started with "S" and his poem was a comical poem about his experience losing his hair.

if anyone can help me out, that would be great! :)

_____
I looked around for a while, couldn't find it, posted this and then of course i ran across it almost right away.

anyway, if anyone's intersted, his name was "RATSACK" and his poem was called "Losing you"
