The real wild men of rock
Article Abstract:
There have been a number of examples of managers of music groups using violence against their rivals, rather than going to the expense of employing lawyers to pursue their claims. 1960s manager Don Arden, for example, was violent towards rival Robert Stigwood, and contemporary manager Marion 'Suge' Knight has shown that he has few scruples. Indeed, his business conflicts may have ultimately led to the murders of Tupac Shakur, who was signed to Knight's gangsta rap label Death Row, and Notorious BIG.
