Soul singer Bill Withers was one of the most universally loved performers of the rock era – does anyone not enjoy nuggets like ‘Ain’t No Sunshine’ and ‘Lean On Me’. As well as his music, Withers was also the subject of one of my favourite music jokes.

Great stuff man! Of all the depressing blogs I’ve read recently…I needed this. I love the Byrds – Dylan one.
I didnt want to have two U2 jokes but I also like “Why did Bono fall off the stage?
He was standing too close to the edge.”
LOL….I like that one better than the other!
A British songwriter is suing U2, claiming that the band stole one of his songs. Though I don’t like the songwriter’s chances, because his lawyer is working Pro Bono. (From Colin Jost on SNL)
LOL….Thats good!
