Brian Epstein

Epstein fascinates me precisely because he never picked up an instrument. He spotted four scruffy kids at a lunchtime Cavern Club gig and reshaped popular culture from behind the counter of a Liverpool record shop. To me he is the patron saint of the talent-spotter: the unglamorous genius who senses what the world will want before the world knows it. His death at thirty-two cut short a career I wish we could have watched mature, and the 2014 Hall of Fame induction feels like overdue recognition that the people who build stars deserve their own place in the light.
