Revealing Grainge interview

THE HOLE TRUTH: Lucian Grainge speaks with great candor in a fascinating interview piece posted on This Is Money, the Daily Mail’s business site. Along with discussing how his business philosophy may have been impacted by personal tragedy, the UMG ruler—whom the piece describes as “the most powerful man in music”—makes a shocking revelation: “I’ve never played golf,’ he tells interviewer Rupert Steiner. But that doesn’t keep him off the course. “It’s where all my friends like to spend their weekends,” he continues, “so what else am I going to do? I drive them around listening to my music and checking emails during their shots, and we get to chat in between the tees.” (11/1a)
