Oh, I see what you're referring to... the John Simon obit I linked to. I meant Feingold was a colleague of John Simon, not of me.

Absolute certainty: if physical copies exist, every last one of them is destined for your local thrift shop.

I really want to see the documentary. I have a weird family connection: my brother-in-law's father was Bud Coleman, who was a guitarist for Alpert and the writer of "Tijuana Taxi."

Documentary is out for rent now (I assume everywhere, but I watched it on Amazon). I love this dude so much, and I love A&M Records as a whole concept and it was nice to see some of the behind the scenes of the label. Also, Herb just genuinely seems like a good person. The doc veered into hero worship by some of the contributors, but tbh much of it appears warranted.

Just saw he's touring in September. He'll be 87! Has anyone seen him recently(-ish)?

Yeah I saw him in November 2019, see upthread. I'd say go see him, you owe it to yourself.

He doesn't seem his age, he's got the spirit of youth
