| A MEETING OF MINDS: BOB LEFSETZ AND TROY CARTER WEIGH IN |  |
First we brought you the infamous cage match between Bob Lefsetz and Gene Simmons and kept the grapevine fertilized for days with opposing opinions, expletives, and good ol' industry banter. Then we brought you the man behind Lady Gaga and looked into the machine that drives the unstoppable mega-monster. For CMW 2012 we bring you a meeting of these two minds - Bob Lefsetz and Troy Carter - in an in-depth conversation. Who will have the last word this time? Make sure you're there on Friday March 23, 2012 to find out first-hand.
