A tip of the hat to Octavio Roca for alerting me to this Guardian review of a new book: The Velvet Mafia: The Gay Men Who Ran the Swinging Sixties, by Darrell W. Bullock. It tells the story of the people who shaped and advised the stars who sang the songs, spun the solos or thrashed the drums--many of whom were gay men. Most of us already know about Brian Epstein's role in managing the Beatles, but this book (which will be released on Feb. 25) shares the story of many others, too.
