reviews

“Return of the Mack” should have made Mark Morrison into a star and not a one-hit wonder. Unfortunately, he just couldn’t stay out of trouble.

Kevin Federline was good at dancing, marrying well and being a WWE heel. But a rapper? Not so much…

Did Yoko, personal tensions or the loss of their manager break up the Beatles? Or was it the lawyers? (It’s usually the lawyers.)

Oftentimes, legal battles in the music industry are strictly business and not personal.

For Irene Cara, however, it certainly felt pretty personal.

Badfinger were supposed to be the next Beatles. Instead, they paid a tragic price for having bad, unscrupulous management.

How a 2007 Wendy’s ad and subsequent lawsuit broke up Violent Femmes.

How the Mann Act took down the “Father of Rock & Roll.”

George Michael was on the verge of being the biggest pop star in the world — until his lawsuit against Sony.

Michelle Branch has always had a strong following. Too bad contract law has always been stronger.

Thanks to whoever thought my retro-review of Chinese Democracy was worth linking to in Wikipedia. Hopefully they’ll start citing my “Career Killers” series more.
