I've been on the outer edge of the inner fringe of "The Biz" almost my entire life. From age 12 to age 30 I was a (mostly) working musician. Since age 30, I've been a Personal Manager. I love my chosen field. It lets me use as many of my left and right brain functions as I can still tap into. (I've always said I like writing a good contract way better than writing a good song). I'm fortunate to represent a great group of creative maniacs, and proudly count myself in their number.
In my "work", (and it's often hard to call it that), I've met, befriended, and been befriended by, more amazing folks than any 20 people should have in their lives. And gone to their shows, dinners, meetings, brisses/christenings, wakes, funerals, bar/bat mitzvahs, weddings, divorces, and on and on... I've never forgotten one thing I've heard. And one thing always leads to another. And I haven't forgotten those things, either.
I have opinions. Boy, do I have opinions. So this will be my sounding off point. My "Pride Rock" so to speak. The place from where I'll oversee my beloved, chosen field of play, the entertainment industry. Hollyweird. And occasionally ramble, rave, but mostly rant, about it.
That's right, rant.
Buckle up...
