Title: RS interviews Bill Withers
Post by: Dave W 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. (http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/bill-withers-performance-hall-of-fame-induction-20141216)

Guess they still have some room for good music stories.

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.
