An almost forgotten character in the Stones story, I have just read that their first manager Giorgio Gomelski has died aged 82.

Better known as manager of the Yardbirds but prior to that he was pretty much the first manager the Stones had, back in the days when they were the houseband at the Crawdaddy.

This is him making a cameo at the start of the video for this excellent song by Jesse Malin

Hey there Stoned, didn't know you were still around. How's SA? Hot Yeah! Shit I thought Gomelsky died years ago. By the way, do you ever hear from Daniel, that's Daniel from woolongong.
