Shady Music Industry Types

...to narrow it down some, get a load of this wild book excerpt about Atlantic Records in the 80s

'Anything For A Hit' Exclusive Book Excerpt: Atlantic Records in the '80s Was Like Plunging Into 'A Circus Mixed with an Orgy'

Et tu, Ahmet Ertegun?! :(

Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D

For instance: I’d been on the job a few weeks when I stepped into the elevator with two executives. Somehow, between floors two and one, they pulled my skirt down to the floor. When the elevator doors opened, I faced the crowded lobby in my panties. This was normal.


:shock:

Wtf?!

I was signed to a major label in the 90s, we never went to the office together. We met our A&R rep at restaurants, which was fine for me, I like fancy dinner.

And yeah I remember her telling me about one of her bosses explaining to her how he always had to pleasure his women at least twice before taking his own pants off and she thought it was disgusting. I thought it was considerate but, like I say, I was kind of willfully naive at the time. To be clear, actually doing that is considerate but telling other women about it IS disgusting.
