“I love the album and I think Bill Withers is one of the greatest songwriters of all time... Bill Withers had been playing on 106.1 KONR in Anchorage for the last six months uninterrupted... the guy who ran the station was just like fuck it and he put on the Bill Withers album 'Just As I Am' on shuffle and it's been playing non-stop without any interruption in Anchorage for six months.”
