IRVING ON LYOR: A POSTSCRIPT
Mega-mogul Irving Azoff, who has unloaded elsewhere in response to Lyor Cohen's recent bloviation, offered a postscript on YouTube’s Head of Music, who recently stuck his foot in it once again by defending the infamous Safe Harbor provision and claiming YT payouts for music were fair. Those claims earned scorn from across the biz, as we've previously reported here and here.
"He's living up to his name," says Swirv. "Someone changed the pronunciation of his name years ago by dropping the ‘o,’ and it stuck." This, presumably, gave rise to the hit “Liar, Liar" by The Castaways.*
