In celebration of D’Angelo’s triumphant return to performing after the absence of a decade, here’s the man covering Bill Withers during his last go around. Unfortunately, the chance of him touring here are near non-existent.  

CHARLOTTA: In love? [Shrugging her shoulders] Can you love? Guter Mensch aber schlechter Musikant. Act 3, The Cherry Orchard, Anton Chekhov, 1904
Guter… etc, translates as: ‘A good man, but a terrible musician.’

Mother Simpson [looking at Joe Namath]: His wild, untamed facial hair revealed a new world of rebellion of change. A world where doors were open for women like me. But Abe was stuck in his button-down plastic-fantastic Madison Avenue scene.
Grampa: Look at them sideburns! He looks like a girl. Now, Johnny Unitas. There’s a haircut you could set your watch to.

I Walk On Guilded Splinters - Dr. John

I roll out my coffin
Drink poison in my chalice
Pride begins to fade
And you all feel my malice

Put gris-gris on your doorstep

And soon you be in the gutter
Melt your heart like butter,
An-an-and I can make you stutter

I’ll be here tomorrow, come say hi.
