Please tell me who (other than Warren Zevon) you could possibly be referring to. Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, Lieber & Stoller, Holland-Dozier-Holland, Willie Nelson, Smokey Robinson... pretty sure we had heard of 'em.

I don't know. Is Shaun Cassidy less laughable? I mean, Garrett in 2010 is a walking tragic punchline, but if you look at the material
they covered and how they were marketed (via
pinup posters and doing interviews/press with
youth-oriented magazines), it sure seems they followed the same business plan (at least in the 70's)
