Irving Azoff knows more about the music industry than the next 10 top industry people combined.  He’s been a manager, run a label, been in charge of Live Nation, and is now the boss of Global Music Rights, the fourth (of the now-Big 4) American performance rights organization.  Watch this 20+ minute chat he has with David Israelite, the president of the National Music Publishers Association (another very smart guy).  There’s some great stuff here.  Give it some time.
