Networking<br />
Panel Is A Hit!<br />
Music attorney Glenn<br />
Litwak moderated a discussion<br />
with prominent A&R<br />
reps, music supervisors and<br />
managers for a recent “Networking”<br />
panel at the SAE<br />
Tech Expo in Hollywood.<br />
Sponsored by Music Connection,<br />

Silas White and Notting Hill<br />
Music’s Livio Harris.<br />
1985–Class of '85–#18<br />
In this issue Music Connection<br />
focused on a group<br />
of "baby bands" who had<br />
just been signed by major<br />
labels, to get an idea of how<br />
they got their acts together.<br />
Featured were the bands<br />
Cock Robin, Malice, What<br />
Is This, Chain Reaction,<br />
Precious Metal and A Drop<br />
In The Gray. We also spoke<br />
to prominent managers.<br />
Concert reviews of Suzanne<br />
Vega, Tom Petty and<br />
Los Lobos and club reviews<br />
of Megadeth and Adore<br />
O'Hara round out the issue.<br />
A Legend Emerges<br />
At The Greek<br />
John Legend serenaded a relaxed,<br />
yet highly enthused Los<br />
Angeles crowd with a band who<br />
played beautifully throughout<br />
the evening. Legend had the<br />
confidence of a young Marvin<br />
Gaye with the grace of Ray<br />
Charles. Truly an unforgettable<br />
evening, Legend left imprints on<br />
the hearts of attendees––and<br />
likely contributed to the birth<br />
of a few children nine months<br />
from now. See the Greek’s fall<br />
schedule at http://greektheatrela.com.<br />

2001–Linkin Park–#7<br />
Rap-rockers Linkin Park<br />
were promoting their rapidly<br />
rising Warner Bros. debut<br />
album Hybrid Theory when<br />
MC spoke to them for this<br />
cover. Said the band's Mike<br />
Shinoda of LP's wise career<br />
strategy, "We decided to<br />
hold off on signing a manager<br />
until we absolutely had<br />
to, because that stuff is so<br />
important to us." Profiles of<br />
DJ John Digweed and Lee<br />
Ann Womack are also here.<br />
