Former last music editor standing; co-author of “I Want My MTV." There's been a load of compromisin' on the road to my horizon.

Set within 1980-1985, described as a timely story of invention and survival in an ever-changing media landscape.

Don't miss @craigmarks' excellent new interview in @HITSDD with our brilliant leader in producing @RecordingAcad's #GRAMMYs, @benwinston -- and not just because he mentions me! Also, please watch the broadcast Sunday night on @CBS & @paramountplus.

Recommended distraction from today's abject misery: Go see the @Luthervandross doc, "Luther: Never Too Much." So much Black excellence and joy on display. Sadness, too, bc of fatshaming + homophobia, but goosebumps galore. The live footage of "A House Is Not a Home" is a miracle.
As an editor, I was perpetually trying to replicate the holy-shit moments of that interview with Q. Has a celebrity interviewee EVER had no fucks to give like Quincy? Soon after arriving at LAT, I asked Q's publicist for an interview. Publicist smiled and just shook his head no.

Always loved this funky Quincy jam youtu.be/NVTVheyDY4s?si=ui3H…
Anyone else notice that the ground ball Mookie Betts hit last night was very similar to the ground ball Mookie Wilson hit in 1986?
Everything that he has said is pure nonsense and doublespeak. Only thing that makes any sense is that he made a decision based on his own financial self-interest and threw the paper’s credibility under the bus.

Had the chance to speak to fellow Lawn Guylander @TheDanielNigro about his long, steady climb from emo frontman to superproducer and trusted confidant for @ChappellRoan and @oliviarodrigo nytimes.com/2024/10/21/arts/…
Rolling Stone had many friendly, cozy Puff Daddy profiles and cover stories back in his heyday, as did most every prominent outlet. It took Cassie coming forward to open the floodgates and spark investigative reporting, at RS and elsewhere.
I'd read a 10,000 word story on how Diddy and his legal team came to the decision not to settle with Cassie, and then paid her off 24 hours after the story came out, by which time his career and life was essentially over. Probably just unchecked narcissism. God bless Cassie...
Pour one out for Sergio Mendes, man behind one of the great yacht-rock jams of all time youtu.be/ZtcfEMf3NxU?si=chko…
