...publicly traded company, your responsibility is to shareholders, employees, advertisers. It didn't matter if I was going to enjoy this deal or not. We didn't need this deal. CBS was a great company with terrific cash flow without Viacom." And Viacom, as company CEO Sumner Redstone will tell you, was doing just fine on its own, with $12.1 billion in 1998 revenue.

Gallagher has worked with the duo before, but it's "Out of Control," the piece with Sumner, that's most memorable. Sumner's work certainly was another one of the Chemicals' influences, and to hear his familiar voice, his usual quasi-cryptic lyrics and a quintessential...
