Ce soir nous avons joué à Luxembourg. C'était la première fois pour CHIC. Le show était terrible. Le public était "électifiant".
Au milieu du concert, il y a eu une panne totale de courant - blackout. On a su que toute la villea été touchée et pas seulement la salle.
Les gens sont restés cools en attendant le retour du courant et la reprise du spectacle. Ces photos comment le show était Funky Business comme d'habitude.

You will hear a Nile Rodgers song today. It will make you happy.
Today's pop music—genre-crossing, gender-bending, racially mixed, visually stylish, and dominated by dance music with global appeal—is the world that Nile Rodgers created. In the 1970s and 1980s, he wrote and produced the songs that defined that era and everything that came after: "Le Freak," "Good Times," "We Are Family," "Like a Virgin," "Modern Love," "I'm Coming Out," "The Reflex," "Rapper's Delight." Aside from his own band, Chic, he worked with everyone from Diana Ross and Madonna to David Bowie and Duran Duran (not to mention Mick Jagger, Debbie Harry, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Michael Jackson, Prince, Rod Stewart, Robert Plant, Depeche Mode, Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel, Grace Jones, Bryan Ferry, INXS, and the B-52's), transforming their music, selling millions of records, and redefining what a pop song could be.

Simplement Dire 'Salut'
Le jour de mon opération du cancer
Il y a presque un an, je commencais ce blog quotidien pour m'aider à faire face à la Vie après avoir été diagnostiqué d'un cancer agressif. Je n'ai manqué que quelques publications, mais mon mode de vie est très mouvementé.
Quand je n'ai pas de nouvelle des personnes dont je sais qu'elles sont en sursis, je m'inquiète. Je n'ai rien entendu de gens dont je me sens proche depuis un bout de temps. D'habitude, ils m'envoient des emails ou DM sur Twitter. J'ai une bonne mémoire, et je remarque quand je n'ai pas de nouvelle même si je reçois des centaines de mails chaque jour.
S'il vous plait, contactez-moi, juste pour me dire que vous allez bien. Je n'aime pas de vous savoir dans de telles conditions physiques, mentales ou même siprituelles - Simplement Dire 'Salut'

Côté Cour
Le Discours du Roi côté cour
Aujourd'hui j'ai beaucoup regardé Côté Cour. L'idée générale de ce show est de rendre hommage à la musique de film. Un de mes moments préférés est quand l'orchestre joue la 7ème symphonie de Beethoven, le 2ème mouvement. C'était la musique utilisée dans le film The King's Speech (Le Discours du Roi). C'était très émouvant dans le film et j'en ai encore été ému vu Côté Cour.
J'ai pris cette photo de Div4s & Seal en route vers le Côté Cour

Let It Be
Bernard Edwards & Nile Rodgers sur la pochette intérieur de C'est CHIC
Sette semaine marque le 31ème anniversaire de la mort de John Lennon. La chanson "Let It Be" a été créditée à Lennon/McCartney et elle a été leur dernière chanson ensemble. Ma collaboration avec Bernard Edwards était similaire dans le sens où nous n'avons pas toujours écrit ensemble, mais nous avons toujours crédité les chansons de cette façon pendant les années de the CHIC Organization LTD.
Cette dernière année m'a fait voir ma vie d'une autre façon- ainsi que celle de mon partenaire originel. En écrivant mon blog aujourd'hui, j'ai vécu deux déjà vu. Je crois que c'était un message pour poster cette vidéo encore une fois. C'était une émission spéciale produite par Br@in pour WOWOW, qui se penchait sur ma vie et la mort de Bernard au Japon. Je ne sais pas pourquoi le producteur a choisi cette chanson de Lennon/ McCartney - mais il y quelquechose de tellement puissant dans le message "Let It Be."

J'éprouve autre chose en jouant de la guitare. Il y a à peu près un an, peu de temps après avoir été diagnostiqué d'une forme très agressive de cancer de la prostate, j'ai eu un accident neurologique qui m'a fait perdre la force de la main. Ma main droite n'est pas encore redevenue comme avant, mais elle va de mieux en mieux.
L'an prochain, je vais jouer plus de concerts que je n'ai jamais joués depuis la formation de CHIC Organization. Je veux l'expérience musicale la plus complète que je n'ai jamais eue. Je vais jouer un répertoire qui inclura des medleys des compositions de CHIC les plus éthérées mais aussi de gros tubes que nous ne jouons pas habituellement à cause du temps limité.
Je travaille pour apporter à notre public mondial une extravagance musicale l'an prochain qui est si classe avec "Savoir-Faire."
