The Number Ones: Chic’s “Good Times”
In The Number Ones, I'm reviewing every single #1 single in the history of the Billboard Hot 100, starting with the chart's beginning, in 1958, and working my way up into the present. *** Chic – "Good Times" HIT #1: August 18, 1979 STAYED AT #1: 1 week "Here it is, y'all," Nile Rodgers told us. "The song that started hip-hop." This was in the summer of 2000, and Chic were playing a free show at Central Park SummerStage. Rodgers, never Chic's vocalist, still made for a great hypeman throughout the evening, throwing in asides about how everyone used to go off in the clubs to these songs. Halfway though "Good Times," Rodgers even underlined his point about the song, rapping a few bars of the Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight." Apparently, he now does this every time Chic perform "Good Times." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Er9xGRolrT4 Rodgers was not, strictly speaking, correct. Hip-hop had been an underground phenomenon in the Bronx and elsewhere in New York for years before Chic

Fashion Fetishism, Surgical Masks And Coronavirus
Entering Singapore’s Changi Airport gives the visitor a glimpse of a mask fetish. Security guards wear it. As do the nurses and the various personnel who man cameras like anti-aircraft batteries, noting the approaching passenger in transit with due suspicion.

Best to wear a mask then: neither party can accurately gauge the disposition of the other.
