THEY HAD THIS RHYTHM-AND-BLUES SYNDROME

"I don't have any education at all.. other than the kind you get just walking around."


There's an awesome video of Bill Withers to be found now at the New Yorker, via this article by Sasha Frere-Jones. Apparently Channel Thirteen, as part of a new series called "Broadcasting While Black," is hosting some episodes of a late 60s/ early 70s show called Soul, at their website here. All the clips are pretty awesome but I dig the Bill Withers interview and acoustic set in particular.. mostly, I guess, because I dig Bill Withers. Thought ya'll might enjoy too.

This is excellent news! I'm so excited. Between my watching all of these episodes, and my mouse-button-aimed trigger finger posting each of them on facebook, I don't know how on Earth I'm gonna get any work done.

PS - I didn't think I could love Bill Withers more than I already did.
