Alan McGee Quits Music Via Facebook Status Message

The former Creation Records head and ex-Libertines manager on how he announced that he was exiting the music business after 25 years because as someone who actually enjoyed music, he felt kind of like a dinosaur: “It was on my Facebook…. My status said: ‘Glad I’m not a manager any more, I really recommend it.’ ” A better way to have done it would have been to add “There Must Be A Better Life” to his iLike queue, but maybe he didn’t want to get too high-concept.

    Signing a band called the Cosmic Rough Riders is a problem.

    Anyone who still likes Oasis that much probably should quit the biz.

    …thus setting McGee up to discover some new middling band, which he will deem SO IMPORTANT as to pull him “out of retirement” and back into hype mode.
