Jon Landau (Producer)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v200/honey_comb1/jon_landau.jpg Co Producer of the "Titanic"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v200/honey_comb1/flying2.jpg
Trivia
Graduated from University of Southern California
Executive VP of feature production, 20th Century Fox [early 1990s]
A devoted fan, Landau championed the straight forward rock n' roll that he loved and wrote scathing reviews of what he saw as the over-blown, pretentious San Francisco scene. Landau's writings eventually made their way to a young student in California named Jann Wenner who was forming a music magazine called Rolling Stone. Landau debuted as a writer in the first issue, submitting a negative review of Jimi Hendrix's debut album. The young critic saw the psychedelic movement as pretentious and without merit and, instead, preferred the straight-forward, frankly commercial rock of the '50s
While waiting for a another chance to produce, Landau struck up a friendship with a young talent named Bruce Springsteen after writing several positive reviews of the singer's work. With his gritty, blue collar work ethic and unpretentious approach, Landau saw Springsteen as the future torchbearer of rock n' roll and said so in numerous pieces. Making several production suggestions during their talks, Springsteen saw Landau as a knowledgeable ally who could help rescue his faltering career. Landau signed on as co-producer of the monumental Born To Run album and, with its overwhelming success, proved himself to be a indispensable figure within the Springsteen camp.
