for this Harry. Have you read the tweets about the song? The court of public
opinion definitely has one. Love the song. Don't dig the behavior. Bizarre. They had
access to GTGIU and tweaked it. 'LoveAfter War' "" 'After The Dance'. Not the first time
Robin has done this. We are not happy at all.
You said you had a bunch of things to talk about re: Sony

The lawyers sound like they know what they're doing. I still think jam needs an
estate manager to deal with all of this on an overall level and not just lawyers
talking. I put her and my guy at NYU in touch and she never connected. He gave
up.
