Throwback for Pop dukes



My dad mentioned Bill Withers in our ride home together last week, and as half this blog's name is a direct reference to him, I figured I would let my man get some shine.


As a side note: I find the fact that Bill Withers was a stutterer until he was about 28 years old truly fascinating. Never let the mind limit the body.

    Do you mean: Never let the body limit the mind?

    Nah, what I was referring to was the social nervousness and fear that often overtakes folks with serious speech impediments. Withers was able to overcome that fear and put himself out there as a recording artist. Though what you are saying is also true, I think the two ideas are in dynamic tension as opposed to conflict.
