Live Nation to buy Principle Management

New article on the Billboard Biz award Paul got in Cannes:

Paul McGuinness on Life After U2, Midem, Calling Out Tech Companies (Q&A) | Billboard

U2 have a new album in June, how are you going to feel when it comes out?

I'm be wishing them well and kind of lurking. I still talk to them every couple of days. I'll be lurking in the background ready to help if anyone wants.

So media is starting to accept the June release date now.

Yes. If only Interference could.

McG is probably the best rock manager in history.

No, interference will not accept it because it's only "logical" to interference to have a surprise release based on nothing, or it'll be postponed until Fall because of Christmas sales even though that mode of thinking is very 2004 -- nevermind the fact that U2 have a new manager, just used the Super Bowl to promote an advance "single" in Invisible, are going on Fallon, and interviews saying that they'll finish in a month or two.

So yeah, the only logical option is June or July, but throw that out the window here. The album is either coming out tomorrow or never.

I thought Live Nation bought Principle Management years ago
