Aronowitz was the original manager of The Velvet Underground , getting the band their first gig in the auditorium of the high school in Summit, New Jersey . The Velvet Underground stole Aronowitz's tape recorder and dumped him weeks later when they met Andy Warhol .[4]
Beginning in the later 1960s, Aronowitz wrote the Pop Scene column for the New York Post ; he was fired in 1972 for conflict of interest because of his management of bands.[1]
