The NY Times has a long piece on Rick Rubin in the magazine section this weekend. If you don't know, Rick Rubin is one of, if not the, top music producers in the business. He's produced The Beastie Boys, Johnny Cash, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Dixie Chicks, and Neil Diamond, among many others. Recently, he was made co-President of Columbia Records and the column in the magazine section suggests that if he can fix Columbia, he may point the way to fixing what ails the business side of the music industry.
