Things You Should Watch

This week's video is a bit of a commitment, but I strongly recommend it if you find yourself with an hour to kill. For those of you who have not yet been enlightened, a vast chunk of the BBC's documentary catalog is accessible on YouTube. While there are numerous titles which I would suggest, this particular film surveys the career of Nile Rodgers, one of the most influential minds in American pop music.

For those of you who do not know Niles by name, he is a founding member of the American R&B band Chic, and is responsible for some of the most successful songs, sounds, and bands that have dominated the US pop charts since the 1970s. He's not a bad guitarist either.
