“Though I walk in the valley of the shadow of evil, I have no fear, as I am the biggest bastard in the valley.” – Allen Klein, R.I.P.
The quote in the header was on a plaque in Allen Klein’s office and if there’s a better epitaph for this guy, we can’t come up with it. They don’t make ‘em like Uncky Allen anymore – he ruled the music business when that actually meant something. Witness his negotiating tactics with Decca Records on behalf of the Stones – Klein’s unique blend of Hollywood gangster style and guttural aggression is the stuff of legends.
R.I.P. Allen – you were indeed a huge bastard and, believe it or not, you will be missed.
