It is a lazy, hazy, rainy Tuesday afternoon but I was just struck by a news flash
that proves intelligent life still swims in the mainstream.
Finally, Bill Withers is being inducted
into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

there will obviously be performances
of AINT NO SUNSHINE
and LEAN ON ME.
What is not obvious is whether
Mr. Withers will be part
of the performance.
From the Rolling Stone interview:
I don't want to be one
of those old guys who
sounds like a gerbil
giving birth to a
hippopotamus.
There are too many other quotes
from that hyper-linked interview
to mention here but please do
whatever it takes to see
this 2009 documentary

| Still Bill |
I speak on behalf
of a gazillion people
who swear that Bill's
21st century rendition
of GRANDMA'S HANDS
in no way resembles a gerbil.
It sounds as good, if not better than,
a 20th century video of the same song.
