Nile Rodgers

BBC4 had a programme about him on at the weekend. Amazing chap. Disco and funk have never been my cup of tea but blimey, not only was he was he unbelievably good at what he did, he's just great to hear talking about stuff. In fact, I've seen him crop up on loads of other programmes imparting wisdom on all sorts of bands and genres. Top man.

Can't spell Niall, of course, but we can forgive him that.

B got it for me for my birthday. It's really very excellent indeed.

That's the dictionary definition of being a grade a hellraiser.

Like when Lemmy got kicked out of hawkwind for doing too many drugs.

James Taylor was next door recording Sweet Baby James, Janis Joplin was the other side recording Blue, and the Carpenters were down the hall. That was sort of typical for 1971.

Stweart left the Faces and went ballistic, Jagger married Bianca and they all decamped to the south of France to record Sticky Fingers, George Harrison got Clapton enough heroin to persuade him to play in the Concert for Bangladesh...

Never, as the man said, a dull moment.

His penchant for the brownend of the drug spectrum meant he did more sleeping than anything else, I'd imagine.

acoutic guitar in the lotus position, and released, 'Get It On'.

It's f**king amazing.
