Neil Bogart

Neil Bogart was a showman to his bones, and I mean that as the highest praise. The Brooklyn-born founder of Casablanca Records gave the world disco anthems and the theatrical roar of Kiss, building an empire on spectacle and instinct. What moves me is how briefly he burned, dying at just 39 in 1982. His life reads like one of his own records, loud, dazzling and over too soon. I have always been drawn to people who choose intensity over longevity, who light up a room and then vanish. Bogart was a true impresario, and his fingerprints still mark the music we love.
