MY VOODOO MASTER, MY MACHINE

“There’s an awful lot of assholes in the music business, and the idea of having to hire these people, to work with them, was nauseating. The most sensible thing to do was to hire actors to act the parts. Tony Zanetta became Tony [Defries]’s assistant, and within three years he was president of MainMan. That was great! He did it fantastically. He wears suits, he can nod, he’s a brilliant actor, a brilliant set designer, and a brilliant director. He would set the situation and he would direct the situation, and all the time he’d be acting out the role of president.

“Leee Black Childers had done a lot of press. For Leee to deal with the press, it was a fucking piece of cake. The same for Cherry, who was a writer That is why MainMan was so successful, because those people did the things the way they had to be done, not the way they’d been done before, not because of twenty years in the music business.”

—Angela Bowie in conversation with the author, 1986
