A New Day Dawns?
All right, I know it's been a few days since I've been here- the truth is I didn't have anything of interest to say. That is, until I logged on last night and read the news.....
A new man is now at the helm of Island records. At first I thought- so what? Just another corporate wonk to annoy all of us Lep fans. But after reading the article ( 3X, might I add) I've come to some conclusions. ( agree or disagree in my comments, I love a good debate!)
1- He seems to have come up the ranks from D.J. to Boss. This to me says he is a "music lover", as opposed to a Businessman (accountant, paper-shuffler - you all get my drift, right?)
2- The fact that of ALL the "established" artists that are managed by Island, He specifically mentions DL in the article makes me have hope!
3- The release of LLWTG- FINALLY! Better late than never, perhaps. But if he liked the song alone- wouldn't he have released Lionel Richies version? After all, that would be promoting a record which has just been released- as opposed to one that has been concidered " dead in the water" for a while now.
Now I know that I may be "blowing smoke" here, but I can't help feel that this is a good sign for the days to come. and the fact that our beloved guys are eligible for the "R&R hall of fame" as of 2005 ( you all know how I feel about THAT- and if you don't , see my tag line on the forums!;-) ) Having someone like him at the helm of the ship may just mean smoother waters ahead for our band. JMHO- And you'll forgive me if I hope that I'm right on this one! Cheers all, KC :-)
