Facts…
I forgot a couple of links there. When I said Universal was founded by mobsters, I was talking about this. Also, this came up while I was doing that search.
I guess I shouldn’t say *founded* by mobsters, since that isn’t strictly true. You have to read the books, though. It’s late and I’ll get the facts wrong if I try to do it from memory.
Also, I know it’s quarter to four in the morning as I type all this, but how could I forget that Universal also owns CHESS RECORDS? Damn, I get stupid when it’s late…
