In his first book, Stoned, Oldham recorded his early years and the meeting with the Stones that changed all their fates; 2Stoned is the story of what followed.

Fascinating glimpse into the life of the manager of the Rolling Stones. The guy is an interesting, ego-mad hustler, but smart as hell (he's also my favorite DJ on Sirius Satellite Radio). A lot of what he did with the Stones was taken to the nth degree later by people like Peter Grant and (especially) Malcolm McClaren with the Sex Pistols.
Still this is a breezy, gossipy read with some of the most fascinating rock and roll characters ever, including the Beatles (he was their London publicist for Fascinating glimpse into the life of the manager of the Rolling Stones.

Still this is a breezy, gossipy read with some of the most fascinating rock and roll characters ever, including the Beatles (he was their London publicist for a short while), members of Led Zeppelin (he used Jones and Page in session work), Phil Spector, on and on. The Stones don't even come in until page 180 or so and the book ends in the Spring of 1963 when, career-wise, things are just starting to get interesting.
The structure is unique - he's taken quotes from other people (both interviews and existing works) to provide context of what he was doing. One of them made a comment I hadn't considered before about the Beatles and the Stones - basically saying that the Beatles were lower-to-middle class kids pretending to be upper class while the Stones were upper class kids pretending to be lower class.

I have had this title on my to read list for about 3 or 4 years and I am glad I finally got to it even though I am pretty disappointed in the end. There is about zero flow here, just bits of journal entries. A little bit of of family, music and business associates make the text along with about 50% or so from Oldham himself. Lots of very fun photos help ease the pain.

I have read 3 of ALO's books. This was his first, following by 2Stoned and Stone Free. Stoned tells how he came to know the Stones and, using a combination of strong will and connection in the Music Biz, set them on the road to stardom. The format of the book is unique in my experience, consisting entirely of paragraphs of quotes from all the main players, backed up with a massive index.
Don't worry though, you'll be used to it after 30 minutes. I've never been a great fan of Sixties culture (I'm I have read 3 of ALO's books. This was his first, following by 2Stoned and Stone Free.

Don't worry though, you'll be used to it after 30 minutes. I've never been a great fan of Sixties culture (I'm just a little too young), but ALO made me interested in that this book was hard to put down, the sign of a great writer.
