Another ex-exec

It's the season for Record Company executives to come to the conclusion, totally on their own and without any pressure from their companies, that maybe its time they started to cast about for new employment. Thus, we have to break the news to you that Jay Boberg has decided to leave MCA after seven years. He's proud of what he done did do:

" Few of my peers at major labels have enjoyed a tenure as long as mine at MCA. Arriving from IRS Records, I came in with a reputation as a maverick, as a champion of groundbreaking artistry and a person with a true love of music. As I walk out of here today, all those attributes remain intact."

Hmmm. "Maverick" is one of those labels, like "eccentric", which you can't actually claim for yourself. Especially if your contribution to the gaiety of nations adds up to records by Bobby Brown, Shaggy and, erm, Blink 182.
