INDUSTRY CHATTER: Why did Savage Records--home of David Bowie and Gene Loves Jezebel--close its doors after just two years? Savage is owned by 25-year-old David Mimran but, according to insiders, was funded by Mimran’s father, sports car mogul Jean-Claude Mimran, who reportedly pulled the plug in light of mounting losses.
