RS interviews Bill Withers
« on: December 19, 2014, 10:25:23 PM »
I had no idea that he is being inducted into the RRHOF. Or that it had been so long since he has performed in public.

I thought the interview was hilarious.

At least once a month someone calls inquiring as to whether I'm dead or not.

Brilliant! Bill Withers makes perfect sense to me.

Wow Dave, thanks for posting that. I never read RS so I would have missed it otherwise. That's the best thing that rag has published in ages!

I wouldn't have found it either but a blogger I read regularly posted the link.

Guess they still have some room for good music stories.

I always liked his songwriting and I knew he was a modest man who eschewed the limelight. But for some reason I always thought he was a Brit (or an American who at least lived in the UK).
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

I figured as much. I never pegged you as a modern RS reader at all.  ;)

Right. Phony rape stories aren't my thing. But they probably have an avid readership on the Duke University campus.
