PROMOTER GONGAWARE GRILLED ABOUT
"SMOKING GUN" EMAIL IN MICHAEL JACKSON
DEATH TRIAL.
Paul Gongaware, who was in charge of producing and promoting
Jackson's ill-fated comeback concerts, testified this week
that he
couldn't remember sending key e-mails or approving
budgets that
included $150,000 a month for Dr. Conrad Murray.
Gongaware also denied thinking that Jackson's health was frail in the
last days of his life, despite e-mails from others in the production
suggesting the singer needed help.
"I still don't recall writing it," Gongaware said,
"I don't recall writing it, but I admit I wrote it.""
In May, Gongaware sent an email to Tim Leiweke's secretary,
Carla Garcia, asking her to pray for him, since everything was
a nightmare.
Email on 5/5/09 from Gongaware to Carla Garcia:
Pray for me. This is a nightmare.
Email on 6/20/09 from Gongaware to Phillips:
Take the doctor with you. Why wasn't he there last night?
Panish: Why are you telling the CEO to take the doctor with you?
Gongaware: Meeting was going to be with Michael
Email on 6/19/09 from John Hougdahl to Gongaware and Phillips
Subject: Trouble at the front
Email:
Paul/Randy
I'm not being a drama queen here...
Kenny asked me to notify you both.
MJ was sent home
without stepping foot on stage.
Email cont'd: The company is rehearsing right now,
but the DOUBT is pervasive. Time to circle the wagons.
Bugzee"
Response from Gongaware to Phillips:
Not sure what to send back...
Randy responded: "We need to pull the plug now.
I will explain."
Who wants to work with a company whose executives don't know
their own contracts or care to respect the Artist they work with or represent!
All Gongaware could say today is "i don't recall" Is that what an artist
wants to hear from one of the biggest promoters in the world!!
Can you blame MJ for not wanting this!!!
Someone had to step up and say enough!
It's over! I'm done!!
In Fear for his life Michael Jackson made a haunting remark
about his mortality after watching some stage pyrotechnics
for his show "This Is It" tour less than a week before his
apparent death June 25, 2009: .
The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
If I'm laden at all
THEN I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another
It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share
And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
He's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
It's Michael, Hes gone.Michael Jackson has died,
This was June 25, 2009.
Almost 4 years later...here we are.
What happened to Michael Jackson.
You wonder just what really is going on
and who is really behind all of this.
The Death, The Alligations, the blackmailings ;
extortion and said kidnappings attempts.
it seems to never end.
History just keeps repeating itself.
What is it that moves this business Hollywood
into thinking they so powerful that your life
would be demanded of you!!!
HOLLYWOOD.
Who are you? Who created you?
Where did you come from?
They all come to you thinking your
the place to be. Your it!! Hollywood!!!
Well don't you know,
You speak of lies and deception.
You are The illusion
The Illusion....that Hollywood creates.
ENTERTAINMENT AT ITS FINEST!!!
Pellicano on camera taped standing next to
non other then Howard Weitzman now manages the
Estate of Michael Jackson and works very closely
with John Branca.
Anthony Pellicano back in 95 claims it was all set up
It was an Extortion attempt.
Pellicano's words: The Federal government has purposely tried to make this thing larger than life — like a Hollywood movie.
To me, these are the acts of overzealous FBI agent
and prosecutors who have never really accomplished
anything in their careers. They are trying to use my
name and reputation to build something better for
themselves.
I think they had it in their minds that this is some big case where I’m purportedly wiretapping all kinds of celebrities
and there are all these tapes.
By the way, where are all these recordings that they are talking about? The government said they have a bunch.
But they have never provided them to us in discovery.
Back in the late 70, and early 80's things were
different. The streets were vibrant, rock n roll
was alive. Recording artist were touring and
selling records, selling out arenas and Michael Jackson
was the biggest PopStar out there. You couldn't touch
him! His song his dance was a work of God.
He was God's gift to us.
He came with a message,
He gave us Hope
He talked of love, Healing the world
making it a better place.
We are the World..
Nobody is like Michael.
Nobody is talking like Michael
I'll be there...
You and I must make a pact
We must bring Salvation back
Where there is love...
I'll be there!
Then came the 90's, the allegations...
and everything stopped.
What is it that moves this business into
thinking your life is demanded of you
The contracts you write and have us sign
are with our blood, they ask of you your life
and even write it into contract.
its called "a life insurance policy"
You might ask what does a life insurance policy
have to do with music?
A lot – and the mafia agrees.
Back in the early days of major labels, the mafia
remained deeply involved by providing financial support.
The Music Business: Promoters, Managers and
Record Labelsdemand your life of you as a
recording artist.
in writing, in your recording contract.
Its called , "THE HIT" CLAUSE
Music has evolved and so should contractual language.
It hasn’t. Although not on par with the archaic terms used
to enforce royalty deductions
(i.e. – breakage fees, reserves, etc.)
“hit clause” is often a section that causes similar
concern because it appears so outlandish.
The origin of the hit clause alone provides such an
entertaining story that it’s worth a discussion.
Sometimes the language is descriptive and sometimes
it’s delicate (as seen below), but in a nutshell,
if you die someone benefits from your death.
EXAMPLE:
Company shall have the right to secure insurance with respect to Artist for Company’s own benefit. In this connection, you shall cause Artist to be available for physical examinations by a physician as and when reasonably requested to do so and to complete such questionnaires and other documents which Company or any insurance carrier may from time to time require in connection with securing and maintaining such insurance. Company shall keep such information confidential, except that Company may disclose such information to the applicable insurance carrier(s) or as required by law. None of you, Artist or Artist’s estate shall have any right to claim the benefit of any such policy obtained by Company.
In short, the company (i.e. label) will take out a life
insurance policy on the artist.
What does a life insurance policy have to do with music?
A lot – and the mafia agrees.
Back in the early days of major labels, the mafia remained
deeply involved by providing financial support.
The “hit clause” was born from this era.
Should an artist sign with a label but never achieve
the expected level of success, the artist would become
more profitable dead.
Sell records or die. Perform or you are finished!
Hollywood.
Seriously. Remaining relevant by selling records
and performing became an essential tool for survival
otherwise the mafia would have you killed.
Pretty simple, the label would collect when you die but
hemorrhage when you’re alive and not selling.
Solution, KILL.
Slight different usage today, the hit clause still
applies, but to my knowledge artists aren’t waking
up to horse heads in their bed.
Again, the concept behind a hit clause remains valid,
however instead of scaring the hell out of musicians;
the hit clause should come with an explanation section
as to why it’s applicable.
Labels invest millions in new talent and the hit clause
(i.e. life insurance policy) is a way to protect that investment
in the event of tragedy.With 360 deals,which are common
place in todays music business deals the hit clause begins
to make more sense. In the event of death, a musician can’t
make money performing; they can’t put out new albums,
music videos, or merch, so a life insurance policy provides
added insurance to protect a label’s investment.
No one is dying; rather it’s a means to protect a financial
investment in the event someone does.
If you’ve been offered by a major label deal good for you,
the hit clause will apply. Unfortunately there is no way around
this contractual monster but you can negotiate against it.
As previously discussed in the “Universal Rights”
blog, music industry negotiation is all about creating
throw away points. Quid pro quo situations.
Lloyds of London Insurance
LLoyd's accuses AEG, the concert promoter, of withholding
witness statements, and "other information necessary to
determine AEG's entitlement to coverage under the policy,"
according to the lawsuit.
Lloyd's of London is suing the Michael Jackson Company
and AEG over an insurance policy that was taken out for
Michael Jackson's performances in London, which never
happened due to the superstar’s sudden death.
Lloyd's wants the court to declare the contract void.
The insurance policy that was taken out on behalf of the
former King of Pop for $17.5 million dollars, which
Lloyd's doesn't think it would have to pay because it was
never revealed to them that Jackson was taking prescription
drugs and Propofol.
I recently came across an article when someone in
MJHOAXLIVE Chat actually asked about the insurance
policy with Lloyds of London and Michael i then dug
abit into this and found this article from 93 re
Michael Jackson from non other X LA TIMES music
critic and writer Chuck Phillips. Chuck was big
on the scene in the 90's I knew of his work via the
Business side and the days of Tupac as well as
being involved with Anita Busch IE: the lady
Pellciano was ordered to leave a dead fish on her
windshield along with a rose and note saying "STOP".
Federal authorities haven't described in detail what they
seized in searches of Pellicano's Sunset Boulevard office
in November 2002, other than to say it was voluminous:
thousands of pages of documents and hours of encrypted
audiotapes, some of which the government is still
trying to decrypt.
The searches came after an FBI informant surfaced
with a tape recording of a career criminal boasting that
he had placed a dead fish with a rose in its mouth and a
sign that said "Stop" on the windshield of Times
reporter Anita Busch's car at Pellicano's behest.
Pellicano denies ordering the threat against Busch.
Chuck Phillips and Anita Busch worked together on
many investigations.
They are both journalist, Anita is now awaiting
her trial to be heard in June with Pellicano/Ovitz.
Jackson Hit With $20-Million Lawsuit : Pop music: The pop star faces a fraud and breach-of-contract claim by the promoter of his canceled 'Dangerous' tour. The singer performed only 24 of the 43 shows.
December 29, 1993
CHUCK PHILIPS
SPECIAL TO THE TIMES
Embattled pop star Michael Jackson was sued Tuesday
for more than $20 million in a fraud and breach-of-contract
claim by the promoter of his abruptly canceled "Dangerous
World Tour."The suit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court,
alleges that Jackson refuses to reimburse Marcel Avram,
the owner of Munich-based Mama Concerts, the money
for debts resulting from cancellations on the tour.
But in Tuesday's lawsuit, Avram alleges that Jackson's
conduct and performance problems resulted from
the entertainer's addiction to morphine and Demerol.
The suit claims that agents or advisers for Jackson provided
the singer with a supply of drugs and deceived Avram by
misrepresenting the singer's health problems.
False information about the status of Jackson's health
was unknowingly used by the promoter on Aug. 17 to obtain
an insurance policy from Lloyds of London to guarantee against
financial losses resulting from Jackson's failure or inability to
perform scheduled concerts on the tour, the suit says.
The settlement of the insurance policy is now in question.
Kinda sounds like whats going on today trial regarding AEG vs Katherine Jackson.
We are watching History
unfold once again
They will have to answer in the end.
HOLLYWOOD.
Who are you? Who created you?
Where did you come from?
They all come to you thinking your
the place to be. Your it!! Hollywood!!!
Well don't you know,
You speak of lies and deception.
You are The illusion
The Illusion....that Hollywood creates
MICHAEL JACKSON WENT TO BED
THINKING HE WAS DOING 10 SHOWS
WAKING UP HAVING TO DO 50.
And as Kenny Ortega Testified
He saw the dream coming to light on the stage.
The only thing he wanted me to say to anybody creatively,
dancers, creative team was, 'I love them.
Everybody’s doing a great job.
I love you, Kenny.
I’ll see you tomorrow. Thank you.'"
It was just like we were getting everything ready for him to walk
in and step into what was going to be one of his favorite days
because he loved illusion.
When we discovered that, in fact, everything stopped."
