Quote of the Day

In this month's MOJO, they ask 70s soul man Bill Withers which musician, other than himself, he's ever wanted to be. His answer?

"As flawed as I am, I've always kind of enjoyed the adventure of being me."

Check out this great live clip of Mr. Withers doing "Ain't No Sunshine" on The Old Grey Whistle Test  - the very definition of soul in two minutes and eight seconds.

Man, i LOVED Bill Withers! "Use Me" is another great one!
Cool clip! I love that fact that Bill is totally into it and the bassist is so laid back you'd think he was watching TV instead of ON tv!
