This book covers a little bit of everything Stones related. It answers many questions about the Rolling Stones and their music, including that special magic blend of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Many interesting accounts of the lives of the band members are revealed, including, the last week in the life of Brian Jones and what lead to his murder; why Mick Taylor and Bill Wyman left the band; why Ron Wood was the perfect choice to replace Taylor; and, when looking into the band's family, why Charlie Watts is the only Stone who's family life is close to normal. The book also provides lists of songs and explains which were written about drugs, which song writing credits were disputed within the band, and which songs and albums were banned. Over 130 photos spanning forty-five years, some published for the first time, help tell the story of the Rolling Stones.
