About book Le Freak. By Nile Rodgers (2011)

Love Nile Rodgers' music, production work. His influential rhythm guitar riffs are classic from Chic's Le Freak & Good Times to Daft Punk's Get Lucky. He has lead a life of hardship and incredible highlights. He keeps such an even temper and optimism throughout it all. His writing has so much humor and warmth. He is a pop music icon for not only his music but how he lives his life. His bio will inspire everyone, not just fans of his work. At the end you have to ask, "How did he ever survive his childhood, let alone become a success," factoring in, as well, a long history of alcohol and drug dependency. There are some with "a gift", like K.D. Lang, who see it as such and wrap it in cotton wool to protect it for as long as possible, and others, like Mr. Rodgers, who toss it to the wind. Still. It's remarkable he even made it out of childhood.
