Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth. I sat at a table where were rich food and wine in abundance, and obsequious attendance, but sincerity and truth were not; and I went away hungry from the inhospitable board.
Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)

Sunshine...
Today's earworm...hate to do this to ya but...i been singin' this one all mornin'...when ya wake up with some Bill Withers floating gently through the mind passageways, you know its gonna be a good day...
I won a trivia contest in college because I knew that BW sang the words "I know" 26 times along one verse. He was working at a factory making toilet seats for Boeing when he recorded the song - he was trying to come up with new lyrics, but his co-workers told him to keep it the original way!!! HONEY

Bill Withers is GOOD. And arguably better than Rose Royce, too. :D
