“ The last 10 years shows that there are always more dummies who get out their checkbooks and sign insane deals and do large prepays for the privilege and public recognition of partnering with the labels. ”

Michael Robertson

“ People always want to partner with their friends, or they have this kooky idea that they’re going to work on and they’re like ‘Oh, Bob and I are going to partner on this.’ 99% of the time it’s a mistake. The only time it’s not a mistake is when that partner can absolutely, positively do something you cannot do yourself… That said, I have two partners now. ”
