Dick Rowe.~~ on that same subject, from back in August of 2006 ~~
He's the executive who refused to sign the Beatles, after Brian Epstein brought the quartet to him for a disastrous audition in 1962. His remark that "groups with guitars are on their way out" has become one of the most widely quoted stories about the Fab Four, even though the exec denied ever uttering the phrase.
Poor old Dick Rowe. What did that mean Eppy do to you? *snork*

.....by the way..... I thoroughly agree with Blender Magazine (who?) in their choice for the number one music boo-boo of all time. Which is: the clueless, paranoid, greedy record industry's hissy-fit over Napster, and its subsequent censorship/mishandling of the internet's filesharing potential.
They have hung themselves with their own rope and [in a premonitory tone not unlike Eppy's] I gleefully pronounce them a dead industry walking.
