Flashback
THE AMERICAN DREAM: Red, White & Maroon Fred Levine, the disillusioned attorney turned fashion retail success story, discusses the evolution of M. Fredric, MAGIC, and Maroon 5
"It was about 7 or 8 years ago and Joe Loggia (current CEO of MAGIC's parent company) and I were just talking about the upcoming MAGIC show and I told him my son Adam was in a band and that the band was doing really well and that he might want to sign them to do the show. The album was out but not "successful out". I figured I would do what I could do to help. I was just feeding Joe a line - a father trying to get his son a job. I told Joe,
'Maroon 5 is going to take off and if you don't get them now, you'll never be able to afford them in the future." So they (Maroon 5) ended up playing at the Hard Rock Cafe that year at MAGIC. now there is no way they'd play at a tradeshow. That's just one of those moments I look back… (smiles)."
