You know,the ongoing rumor factory about Universal almost needs a forum of its own. Current story has Edgar Bronfman Jr., the guy who responsible for sending Univeral rolling into hell to begin with,is looking at the Universal Media holdings,which include the music group. But the really BIG news,and this ain't a rumor,is the demise of the MCA name. It is expected that by the end of the year,the MCA music label will be folded into Geffen,itself part of the Interscope/Geffen/A&M triloka formed a couple of years ago,which,in effect ended A&M as a stand alone label. With the demise of the MCA label,there will be nothing on the planet called MCA or the Music Corporation of America. Though maybe not as historically important as RCA Victor or Columbia,this was the original Decca(US)label. Of further interest in the future role of Geffen-Geffen is supposed to become a stand alone unit again when it absorbs MCA. With Interscope currently holding the #1,2 and 3 spots on this weeks Billboard chart,only little A&M is left to twist in the wind,nearly forgotten in the bowels of the conglomerate called Universal.
