Did Doubleday contact Frey? If they did ask him if there was anything there and he lied to them, then [his deception] is even worse.

We have to make sure we are going into business with people we can trust, we have to look at their CVs, look to their agents, and ask a lot of questions. But publishers would have to be more willing to sue.

Harder than it had to be ... that's for sure. I was struggling to make solid contact.

we'd contact Bob Marley and ask him to come back for one last concert.

It's my fault in many cases because I don't initiate the contact to talk with a lot of other musicians.

I don't like being lied to.
