Tuesday: Fortune’s Fool: Edgar Bronfman Jr, WMG & An Industry In Crisis
(UPDATED) Fred Goodman's much anticipated Fortune's
Fool: Edgar Bronfman, Jr., Warner Music, and an Industry in Crisis
hits stores on Tuesday.
Goodman, who also penned the music industry tome "The Mansion On The Hill," uses Bronfman, Lyor Cohen and WMG as a lens to view how
spectacularly the recording industry misjudged the digital age and how
tenuous the future is.
Tomorrow, we'll take a look at the book and have 5 copies to
give away or pre-order a copy here.

Been waiting for this book for aaaages! Can’t wait!
Been waiting for Tuesday. I spent the majority of my grad school experience interning for one of the WMG executives. It will be really interesting to read Goodman’s take on Bronfman’s tenure. Hitting the download button on my Kindle as soon as I wake up!
This is going to be a fun book to read considerign i used to Work for Warner !! Could I please have one of the copies you are looking to give away please :o)
Currently at Warner now (at least for a few more weeks), and I cannot wait to delve into this book. Bruce – please save one for me!
Edgar Bronfman, Jr. got fair a shake in Fred Goodman’s book Fortune’s Fool Edgar Bronfman, Jr., Warner Music, and an Industry in Crisis. But Standard & Poor’s wasn’t able to find a soft spot in their heart for Jr. when they downgraded Warner Music Group stock from “stable” to “negative”. In other words, stay the hell away from this turkey. Well, they didn’t quite say it like that. But that’s the message they sent.
