Idolator
You'll have to go here for a bigger picture (lousy copyright laws!), but this jolly-lookin' fellow is Universal Music Group CEO Doug Morris, the guy who blames YouTube and MySpace fans for the industry's woes, rather than a decade's worth of payola scandals and lousy signings. Note the casual stance, the Brooks Brothers double-breasted nattiness, and, oh yeah, the rows upon rows of gold records. All he needs to completely become a walking label-honcho stereotype are a ponytail and a third wife.

My first impression of The Record Label Executive came from watching "Can't Stop The Music" when it was shown (edited of course) on TV when I was a kid.
I'm still sad to this day that not every single person in the upper echelons in the industry uses five phones at the same time and rattles off Jackie Mason style punchlines like an uzi.
Especially asking where Rod Stewart is. And considering how the man still sells, nothing changes at all!
He's also the Prez of the Rock and Roll HOF. Which is a good thing: If anyone can find a way to make Fred Dursts' herpes sores look realistic on his bronze bust, it's Doug Morris.
