My Take
Kim Fowley is one of the great wild cards of rock history, and I mean that as a compliment. He's been called one of the most colorful characters in the annals of rock and roll, and also a shadowy cult figure outside the mainstream, which captures the contradiction perfectly. He churned out novelty and cult pop singles through the 1960s, then famously assembled and managed the Runaways in the 1970s. Born in Los Angeles in 1939 and gone in 2015, he was a behind-the-scenes operator rather than a star. I find these scene architects far more revealing than the acts they pushed into the spotlight.
