Quote 468 of 495
Beginning in 1984, when he started Def Jam Recordings, until his more
recent occupation as a career-transforming, chart-topping, Grammy
Award-winning producer for dozens of artists, as diverse as the Dixie
Chicks, Slayer, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Neil Diamond, Rubin, who is
44, has never gone to an office of any kind. One of his conditions for
taking the job at Sony, which owns Columbia, was that he wouldn't be
required to have a desk or a phone in any of the corporate outposts.
