Universal Music CEO Doug Morris Speaks, Recording Industry in Even Deeper Shit Than We Thought
&quot;In the December issue of Wired, Seth Mnookin sits down with Universal Music Group CEO/supervillain Doug Morris for a pretty excellent profile (which is, tragically, not yet online). In it, Mnookin paints the 68-year old Morris as a crotchety executive who's upset that he can't focus more on simple product and artist development because he's too busy worrying about iPods, MP3s, and his company's digital strategy (which was never really supposed to be part of his job description when he took the gig in 1995). In a way, he almost comes off as cute, like if your grandfather were accidentally hired to run Google (at one point, Morris hilariously compares his embattled industry to a character in &quot;Li'l Abner,&quot; a comic strip that stopped running in 1977).
As for his actual digital strategy, it's pretty much what we expected [/quote]
