42 m. ago ‘He made the dust fly!’ Mick Jagger and others on 100 years of Clifton Chenier, the king of zydeco

Whether playing the Royal Albert Hall or a rooster fight, Chenier’s scorching Creole blues blew minds. As a tribute album is released, starry admirers and family members remember one of history’s great live performers‘Clifton Chenier was one of the most influential musicians to come out of Louisiana,” Mick Jagger tells me. “He turned so many people on to the wonderful, free spirited dance music of zydeco. He was a true original, a trailblazer.” Jagger acknowledges that while no music style can be attributed to one artist, “there is not a zydeco band who has not followed the template Chenier created”.Jagger is not engaging in hyperbole here: Clifton Chenier’s swaggering, accordion-driven sound introduced the Creole music of rural Louisiana to the world – now known as zydeco, the name derived either from the Creole pronunciation of haricots, or possibly a west African word for music-making.

I can’t can’t quote a single line from a song in my book. So how can big tech legally feast on all the lyrics ever written?In the 74,833 words of a book I am writing, there are six words that, when strung together in a specific 12-word sequence, I cannot say. It’s a single line from the song Bloodbuzz Ohio by the National, which goes: “I still owe money to the money to the money I owe.”My book is a memoir about the psychological toll that what I term “desperation capitalism” took on millennials in particular, and how it pushed tens of millions of people to try to find a way out of financial precarity by engaging in high-risk financial activity. It’s told through the lens of my own experience of falling deeper and deeper under the spell as I spent 11 months trading a few thousand dollars into more than $1.2m, and then 18 months chasing my losses all the way down to zero.
