"Madonna was feeling insecure" So was that interviewer. Have the confidence to let the man finish his story without trying to be a wise ass and interrupting him

I have even more respect for Nile after this interview. The fact that he chose to remain professional with Madonna at th beginning of her career says a lot. She wasn't yet a susperstar, but she was on her way. It also says a lot about how many men have been inside her. I think she associated sex with approval/desirability for a long time in the 80's and 90's.

@helenatube 4 года назад

Well, she lost her mom at 5 and has probably been needy for attention since.

To the interviewer, hope you learned from this humbling experience.

You can tell the interviewer is a Madonna fanboi the way he keeps talking about her and how great he thinks she is. Embarrassing seeing people that age still gushing over celebs.

@MOGGS1942 8 лет назад

His justification for keeping Madonna at bay was sound. She would have been the boss if he had succumbed. He probably had too many women anyway. Good looking guy.

@petedivittorio8593 8 лет назад

Nile Rodgers is a guitar and music genius. He does it without shredding a note and too many guitarist sound too much alike. Nile is as fresh , organic and unlike anything else like an ice cold raw clam with a hit of Tabasco and a squeeze of lemon.

@graybeard9942 2 года назад

I'm sure Nile as an artist saw her as an instrument, a very good instrument. You don't fuck up your instruments.

I like the line, “I’m not her kinda guy”. It has that Frank Costanza / Buddy Rich feel to it! 🤪

Sometimes the interviewee has to tell the interviewer "Quit talking over me,you asked a question,let me answer it."

To Hardtechnoboy, I read where Nile said he never wanted to get married or have kids. He said he found a woman who didn't want kids and he said, okay, then you're my girlfriend. They live a very private life.

If the interviewer would shut up, he would learn a lot more. Nile was pretty nice to him even when he had to tell him to stop talking.

Nile & Bernard Edwards (bassist for Chic) also worked with the great man himself, David Bowie around the Modern Love\ Let's Dance era & produced some brilliant tunes.

I wish more people would allow for conversations to involve paragraphs instead of bullet points. Good on Mr. Rodgers to insist on the time to finish his paragraph.
