If ever there was

  1. Just for his reference to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting,
    Bill Withers' acceptance speech is preciously funny.

    1. I have to note that there are—thought deleteable—

    1. I have too many favorite Bill Withers' songs
      BUT...I think I can name his "most profound" song:
      I Can't Write Left-Handed
