This is in fact a short interview but with many truths, given to us by one of the BIG names in music history.

It clearly shows how idiotic the "Disco sucks" movement was. Burning records and stuff are methods usually used by morons like the nazis. Too bad for them that Disco is still here, alive and kicking and that can not be said about many rockgroups/records that came out in the early eighties. A lot of young people know Chic and their songs but The Knack??????

Also great to read that the Chic sound was very influenced by European Disco so that must be hard to swallow by some fundies!

BTW, Chic will be performing @ the Sportpaleis in Antwerp/Belgium, together with a classical orchestra @ the Night Of The Proms later this year but I let Mr. Rodgers himself give you all the details:

No offense to unrepentant disco lovers, but there are certainly more folks who'd be proud to say they caught The Sex Pistols on their one and only tour of America than who'd brag about making it past the velvet ropes of Studio 54, the glittering epicenter of disco decadence.

No offense taken . But actually I did see the Sex Pistols in concert at the Winterland in San Francisco... which I believe turned out to be their last appearance ever ( ??) .. and while the show somewhat entertained me as a spectacle , my final conclusion was : no elevating qualities and much adieu about nothing . Therefore no punk conversion resulted and in all honesty these years later now looking back ..... I would trade the experience for a night at Studio 54 in a heart beat .
