Crazy Lucky

di John Mason (Autore)

The Unnamed Press, 2025

“It’s never your typical day at the office when Michael Jackson attends a meeting in person, headphones on his ears and a Walkman in his hands. Little did I know then that he was listening to the first demos for what would become Off the Wall, Thriller and Bad…” Most lawyers aren’t like John Mason. Then again, most lawyers don’t do what he does. For decades, John Mason has been a confidante, meditator, gladiator and last line of defense for some of the most visible (and talented) artists in the world; from Brian Wilson and Roy Orbison, to Reba McEntire and the Jackson Five, to Quincy Jones, Shakira, and his dear friend of over forty years, Olivia Newton-John. In Crazy Lucky, he tells their stories from his perspective, and shows us what it means to truly have someone’s back. A butcher’s son with humble origins, John Mason was a talented guitar player in his own right before choosing to become lawyer. Since then, he has guided his clients through devastating business bumps and craters, multi-million dollar lawsuits, divorces, child custody issues, and stalkers, while also helping to navigate breakdowns, illness, physical and mental abuse, and a wide variety of legal issues with not just hundreds of millions of dollars, but careers, on the line. Many (if not most) entertainment lawyers work through managers and agents to help celebrities achieve specific goals. Mason, on the other hand, serves as a lynchpin to his clients’ inner circle, a steady presence in what is often a privileged, but harrowing lifestyle. Crazy Lucky is a career retrospective packed with never before heard stories. A rollicking journey for anyone interested in entertainment history, Crazy Lucky shows what it takes to represent the interests of some of the biggest names in the world, in critical, career-defining moments.
