This is the best interview of any music manager that I've ever heard. The only unfortunate part of this interview was the interviewer, who on occasion, interrupted a little too much. I could listen to Elliot Roberts for hours on end gleaning gold nuggets of information about the music business. This man is inspiring, informative, and a great sage: particularly about the value of Publishing rights and leaving a legacy. I'm in Awe of, and thankful to Elliot Roberts for the indelible education I received from him in this public forum; truly Golden. Rabi Robert Rabinowitz just left me a legacy; something that costs thousands of dollars at a public institution that will last me a lifetime. Thank you, people, for the gift you've given me in the name of Elliot Roberts..
Dad went from the Bronx, New York to Los Angeles, California where he stayed for over 55 years. He was a ferocious supporter of some great music, and actors. He was a Jew who took great joy in the Jewish traditions. He is dearly missed by his friends and family.
We love you Elliot, you've done the very best of your life to the artists and we had it all. Always helpful , and giving more than you take. Noone could make it like you did, with so much love and laughter. You're gone now, what a loss ....but what you've done will remain for a very, very long time in our heart. I wish many will walk in your steps, the world really needs more dedicated, heartful and human people like you.
Eliot was a nearby neighbor living close to Fordham Road, nearby me. Went to Clnton High School within a year of each other. I was a jazz fan, but Eliot was just interested, but curious. Asked some insightful questions about a Jackie McClean album. I went on to CCNY and Eliot was beginning to be a manager. A great leaper on the court and a great manager, and curious Didn't see much of him since. But holds some nice memories. Miss you Eliot.
NY was lucky to have this man as both a friend and a manager. Young has made mistakes since Roberts passing that probably wouldn’t have happened had Roberts still been alive.
Warren Zanes, never apologize, never explain; silliness coming from me but what if Tom were saying that to you. I know you are an ambitious guy; in this life unfortunately it seems to be a requisite. You are supremely well-versed not only in your academic field, and your life in the trenches as Almost Famous but whatever you think about Toms abrupt departure, you only got one thing wrong. He was protecting the people that hurt him. But as a complex man, he also knew that your approach to a biography was the only way to go and people had conflicting memories and stories ,... as in a long-term extended family. I never felt Tom felt stripped of his putative social mask by the revelations that he was a profoundly complex man who, yes, had a breakdown. It is pure Dante: in the middle of his life, a man found himself lost among the trees without a clear path. That is my rough translation. The rest is all in his music; redemption, forgiveness, accepting friendship and love; would never give up them causes, but if you think he bore you any ill will; never. You were brave and the best writer a man could actually have. My Dad played baseball, oddly, plus chess and played gypsy guitar; my best friend. None of those skills I hope would be wasted in an imaginary world that included the reflectiveness, wry humour of George Harrison, and a holy host of others. Thank you.
Two thoughts Who is the moderator here? Because they did an abysmal job. Why are you letting Mr. Roberts babble on and on about Pono? We get it. We all listen to crap audio. Can we please move the hell on? Damn 2nd thought: Bob Dylan. Smart. Oh yeah. Bob Dylan is smart. Just ask his baby mamas. All of them.

Elliot is an icon!

Thank You for SO many memories !!

An absolute legend. Changed the game entirely. Rest is paradise sir.
Sad loss of one of the business pioneers of the music I love in my life. Met him several times and he was down to earth and a really nice guy.

Thanks for interview w/ Elliot . But you need to re-upload and boost Elliot's mic volume channel please.
Great interview ... RIP Mr. Roberts ....
