And more importantly, be excited about all that crap and be able to keep a
straight face while talking to some radio programmer about said crap, and
how that crap is going to be huge, and the real crap is what the other
label is trying to push onto that radio programmer.

It's a soul-less job for which the term "record weasel" is interchangable
with A&R Man.

Not quite the same job. Acknowledging that everyone's ultimately a flack,
there's still a useful distinction between the recording industry's executive
production managers (A&R men) and its line sales "consultants."

So, question. In the Simon & Garfunkel song where they say "I've been Lou
Adler'ed, Barry Sadler'ed", are they referring to the NYC newscaster or to the
A&R guy?
