Rick is a former personal manager who is often engaged as an expert witness on the history, construction and application of the Talent Agencies Act.
In 1967, the California Court of Appeal found that Jefferson Airplane's personal manager had worked to get the band gigs without first applying for and receiving a talent agency license, as required by the state's Talent Agencies Act (Labor Code Section 1700 et seq.).
