Didn't Lionel Richie just make a country album? No one is giving him a hard time... and God bless him - I love Lionel and should be able to do what he wants to do, like Madonna should, too. Both are having success and I applaud them. If you don't like it, don't buy it. The ageism criticism is getting old.
Most people are blown away by the fact that Beck is Jewish... and Billy Joel. I didn't know he was Jewish.
I'm a people person, very approachable. I go out every night, tons of functions. I love all facets of this industry... Music, film, TV, books, art. I love being around creative people.
The new independent spirit at Warner Music is a perfect fit for a stand-alone label like Maverick.
