Nile Rogers is very enthusiastic about the formative influence of Ferry and Co. The raised quote at the top of one page reads: "Man, I saw Roxy Music. Phew! Boy, did that ever change my life!" Seems that his early experiences of England are two-fold. Despite being a New Yoiker, he's been robbed three times in his life, twice of those in England. More happily, he and Bernard Edwards were in the mid-70s road band of New York City ("I'm Doing Fine Now") on a UK tour. "We started doing the whole London club scene and while we were out doing that, man, I saw Roxy Music. Phew! Boy, did that ever change my life!" Rodgers returned to the USA with news of Roxy's stage presentation and the concurrent emergence in the USA of Kiss offered the framework for live performance. "The correlation between the theatrics and the anonymity to walk down the street as a regular person but then become Kiss or Roxy Music when you're doing your thing was very compelling to me and Bernard and myself because we didn't see ourselves as stars, we were always back-up musicians. So we thought we could pretend to be stars. And Chic was born." Me...I'm not sure I see the correlation between Roxy and Kiss (or the 70s club scene), but hey! 2004 and favourable comments about Roxy's inspirational approach to live working. Only in a retrospective, huh?

BTW all, you can cut out the middle man and talk to David Buckley directly about his Roxy book at david.buckley@t-online.de. He's asking for people to contact him with any Roxy memories or anecdotes.

Slingbacks, garterbelt, teddy and most important a tiny push-up bra, made from the eyelids of an elephant. My inspiration? Sheena Easton's commercials for a gym franchise here in the States. No one can use a stair-stepper in heels like Ms. Sugar Walls. BF's new GF sounds like just his dish. Puff up the pillows for the panther in the limo? BTW, a new club CROBAR has opened up down the block from a dive I haunt. All trendy & loud, opening party last night. Enroute to my place Boy George swaned by, full mufti & entourage in tow. There goes the neighborhood. Wonder what Mr. O'Dowd vacuums in?
