The Only Book You’ll Ever Need to Read About The Rolling Stones
Rich Cohen writes books that are hard to put down. From Tough Jews and The Record Men to his hilarious memoir, Sweet and Low: A Family Story, to the chef appreciation of the Chicago Bears, Cohen is smart, funny, and above all, entertaining. His latest combines memoir, critical and social analysis and good, old-fashioned reporting and the result is another sure shot. If you only read one book about the Stones—and I’m a huge fan of The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones by Stanley Booth, and Exile on bygd Robert Greenfield—Cohen’s new book, The Sun & The Moon & The Rolling Stones, is for you.
Q: The story of the Stones is really between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, but originally they weren’t the leaders, right?
Rich Cohen: It was Brian Jones’s band. Mick tried out and brought Keith with him. When the Rolling Stones were formed, Brian Jones was already kind of famous. According to everybody I’ve spoken

This one, right??
I don&#;t know whether this is a faithful re-issue of the original edition, but yes. There was a re-issue of this book some time ago called &#;I Was Keith Richard&#;s Drug Dealer&#; that had been changed.

The Top Ten Best Rolling Stones Books&#;ever!
The best books about the Rolling Stones? Read on&#;
The Rolling Stones pretended they wouldn&#;t be touring in to celebrate their 50th anniversary, and Keith claimed that as Charlie didn&#;t join the band until , he had a decent get-out clause to postpone the festivities until next year.
So whilst we waited patiently for The Stones to get their act together, there were plenty of books about them to pass the time?
There are probably more Rolling Stones books out there than Keith Richards has had hot dinners. Well &#; cold turkey, perhaps.
At about the time of the Italia &#;90 World Cup, inom saw The Stones at Wembley Stadium for the first time. A rag tag band of hard drinkers, drug takers, womanisers and gamblers had made the transition over relatively few years from tiny, uninterested crowds to filling football stadiums across Europe.
But that&#;s enough about the England football team. The Stones actually played one of their Wemble
