Clive Davis blog...interesting

[driver]

<p>I’ve just discovered this site tonight, and I’m assuming it’s the Clive Davis–the founder of Arista records, and signer of everyone from Janis Joplin to Earth Wind & Fire, to Bruce Springsteen. I haven’t thoroughly checked it out, but I thought it might be of interest here. I was particularly struck by this comment, which reminds me of so many of my CC buddies when we get political:

I’m always struck by the uniformity of views among the artists and literati I’ve interviewed. For almost all of them, the notion that there might just be another point of view simply doesn’t exist. It’s their religion, really, which is ironic, since they usually make a point of saying how much they distrust religion. Other people’s religion, that is.

<p>not that it matters-
but a different Davis</p>

<p>

biography</p>

<p>Clive Davis writes for The Times and The Washington Times (He’s not Clive Davis, the record mogul, and therefore can’t be blamed for the rise of Whitney Houston.)</p>

<p>He was a media fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford in 2003 & 2004.</p>

<p>He lives near London with his wife and three sons.</p>

<p>Here’s his Normblog profile:</p>

<p>Clive Davis was born in Bath in 1959. He studied Modern Languages at St Catherine’s College, Oxford, but acquired his real education at the Tottenham-based paper, West Indian World, where he discovered he was not as left-wing as he thought. He writes for The Times and the Washington Times, and has made Radio 4 documentaries on Richard Wright and William L. Shirer. He was a media fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford, in 2003 and 2004. He and his wife Mohini have three sons, Shivan, Krishan and Anand.
