The show left out a lot of the facts re: the Laura Nyro situation. If everything had been presented – and the information is easy enough to find – it would have been obvious that it was Geffen who screwed Nyro over and not the other way around. Also interesting: Geffen says he regretted his lawsuit against Neil Young and dropped it – and yet, he did the same thing to Joni Mitchell three years later.

I read that Geffen sold Nyro's publishing company to start Asylum records. Could this be the real reason Nyro wouldn't further her career with Geffen. In her song "American Dreamer" about an artist and her manager she sings, "So I signed a contract with a transparent line. 'There's nothing we could do/we could not get there in time/it's too late she signed on the dotted line.'" If this song is about her and Geffen, then who really fucked who.

Geffen telling the Army he had âhomosexual tendenciesâ to get out of serving.

He is a scumbag, a coward and a liar.
