Andrew Loog Oldham

Andrew Loog Oldham fascinates me because he basically invented the modern rock manager. Taking on the Rolling Stones in 1963 while still barely out of his teens, he didn't just book gigs; he shaped their image as the dangerous antidote to the Beatles and pushed Jagger and Richards to write their own songs. That flamboyant, provocative instinct feels decades ahead of its time. The 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nod confirms what I already believe: the people behind the curtain can be as culturally important as the stars. I'd love to read his memoirs.
