Having it, for a record executive, is the equivalent of having an “ear” for an A & R man. It, an equation nobody has ever been able to spell out, involves a record-company executive being able to balance the innumerable variables of the talent (who usually act like children), the competition (who often behave like thieves), and the consumer public (who, when properly stimulated, can respond like sheep).

To understand it, a record executive must understand the existential meaning of an ancient knock-knock joke that makes the rounds of the pop-music industry every few years. Though the punch line has remained unchanged for decades, the gag still rings surprisingly true. To make the joke work, one need only insert the name of a currently chart-busting act whose most likely destiny is to be dimly remembered as yesterday’s news.

Knock Knock.

Who’s there?

Michael Bolton.

Michael Bolton who?

That’s the music business for you.
