		Variously described as vain, invincible, outrageous, unconventional, revolutionary, camp and inexperienced; as the English Phil Spector, a gangster, a genius, a hustler, a Svengali and as God, Andrew Loog Oldham was born in London in 1944.
		He gets his name from his father, Andrew Loog, who served in the US Air Corp, and was killed when his plane was shot down seven months before his son was born.
		ALO had a reputation for an alternative management style; he was into the image and look of the band, an independent promoter who hustled to achieve results and gave British pop its first rough, sexually desirable icons.

		Some books suggest wrongly that "Loog" was a made-up middle name inspired by Oldham's interest in A Clockwork Orange (in which "droog" means "friend"); Oldham's father was Andrew Loog, a Texan airman of Dutch ancestry who was killed in the Second World War before Oldham was born.

	Blogcritics.org: Stones - In the Beginning
		The Stones took to Oldham's youth, confidence, and vision, and allowed themselves to be talked out of a verbal management agreement they had with Crawdaddy-owner Giorgio Gomelsky, who was in Switzerland attending his father's funeral at the time.
		Oldham's first act as manager was to demote the shambling Stewart (the "6th Stone," Stewart recorded with the band until his death in '85) from the band's live act for not keeping with Oldham's image of a lean-and-mean Stones.
		Oldham's enduring legacy is the amazing music the Stones and he generated during the two years between the squirmingly lascivious "Satisfaction" - one of the greatest rock songs ever - released in May of '65, and the hit-filled Flowers compilation, released in July of '67.

		Oldham is arriving to congratulate Jagger and Richards on their first songwriting effort, symbolically and physically pushing Jones to one side in the process.
		Andrew Loog Oldham did no such thing and Woolley almost definitely knows it, but it's the kind of thing that Oldham should have done, so my minor role is at least in keeping with the spirit of authenticity that the director is mining.
		The Wild and Wycked World of Brian Jones has been something of an obsession for Woolley, who is fascinated by the 1960s: he produced Scandal, the story of the Profumo affair, and Backbeat, which dramatised the life of Stuart Sutcliffe, one of the original Beatles.

		Oldham neither inflates nor downplays his role in that universe: He simply comes off as a guy who wanted as big a piece of it as possible.
