Chic

Nile Rodgers tweeted recently:
"Do you think the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame folks go to LIVE shows ANYMORE?"
There was a link to that tweet revolving around 20 great Irish festival memories and Chic were at #20.


Nile thinks about the Rock Hall.  Chic have been nominated 6 times, the recent one was last year.
Nile is loved by musicians, and that would have to include some that are in the Rock Hall already, who get to vote.  I've always thought if it was just his name nominated he would get in.  Not just for Chic, but for writing, producing and being an influential guitarist.
But, no, Chic continue to get overlooked, despite their vast reach into Hip-Hop, New Wave and R&B while they charted.


Their only hope may be that the Hall sneaks them in under the Musical Excellence category.  Until then, I keep my fingers crossed for them.
