Rolling Stone Menu Year in Review: So, How Was Your 2020, Nile Rodgers? John Coltrane, By is a series in which our favorite entertainers answer our questionnaire about the music, culture and memorable moments that shaped their year. We’ll be rolling these pieces out throughout December. Ask Nile Rodgers how he’s doing on a November day in 2020 and expect to hear a high-pitched “Hooooo!” as if he were saying, “How can I even answer that?” “It’s like I can’t catch my breath, man,” he says. “This is insane.” Last year, Rolling Stone caught up with the influential guitarist, producer, and Chic bandleader to find out how the last decade had treated him; this time it’s to talk about 2020, a year that has felt like a decade, or, as he says, “It feels like a century.”
