Yeah... I still sort of like him (or at least some of the stuff he did) because he really represented most of the artists I love. He was so instrumental during that whole Troubadour club movement, especially with Jackson Browne and Joni Mitchell.
I always think of the part in School of Rock (best silly, feelgood movie ever!) where one of the mums says: "And why is my daughter suddenly obsessed with David Geffen?" LOL.
I have to say, I think Irving came across really well. I don't really know too much about him personally, but I liked him at face value and I could totally understand what he said about having to be a shark when you're managing a band at that level. He had to do his job and support his artists, but he didn't come off as an a**hole at all in the interviews. I also like how well he took Don's "he's our Satan" comment. Too funny. It shows the kind of relationship they have; I think there's a huge mutual respect there.
