Freak Out! Nile Rodgers Is Writing a Book | The... →
Rodgers has quite a story to tell: He became an overnight phenom with Chic along with late music partner Bernard Edwards. But along the way he fell into drugs, hard. He cleaned up his act in the mid 1980s and went on to become a huge producer for Ross, the B52s and many other stars, including Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Duran Duran and even Madonna (he produced “Like a Virgin”).

Personal History: Making Toast : The New Yorker →
This article is from a couple of years ago. I read that the author just wrote a memoir. It’s a sad story. This quote stuck with me:
One of the few pieces of writing I have done in the year since Amy died was a book review for the Washington Post Book World. The novel was David Lodge’s “Deaf Sentence”—about a retired linguistics professor, Desmond Bates, who is losing his hearing and who...

And five-time World Series champion Mariano Rivera’s number. And Jackie Robinson’s! So, awesome.
I’ve been 42 since last November. It’s not bad! In fact, for me, it beats 22 all to hell (that was an extra-bad year, though).
I hit 42 last Oct. Is weird how I’m following all…

Forget the sound of the waves or the songs of birds, they didn’t even make the top 10. But the jingle advertising a computer chip, and object which most of us have never even seen, took the prominent second spot in our brains in terms of addiction. We strongly respond to the sound of Intel! This tells us that repetition is the key, since most...
