Rolling Stones: basically it’s the story of two boys, Mick and Keith

Despite the year of birth shown on their identity cards i Rolling Stones they are still today more than ever at the center of musical news. In fact, a new biography of the British group has been published by Penguin Press, entitled “The Rolling Stones: The Biography”. The impressive volume, which consists of 704 pages, traces over 60 years of the band’s career and was written by the biographer Bob Spitzwhose previous biographies include those of Beatles, Led Zeppelin (here is the news), Bob Dylan and also, moving away from the musical genre, those of the chef Julia Child and the former president of the United States Ronald Reagan.

The presentation of the book on Rolling Stones reads: “All great music is a threat. What more can you say about the Rolling Stones? An infinite number of things, it seems. Bob Spitz has brought his tireless energy and five decades of experience in the depths of rock ‘n’ roll to bear on this five-year journey to re-examine one of the greatest stories in popular music. There are countless revisions to the conventional narrative that highlight how much the band has controlled that narrative up until now, a small example: no, Muddy Waters wasn’t mopping the floors at Chess Records when the Stones arrived. In a broader sense, as with the Beatles and Led Zeppelin, Spitz’s greatest gift is insight, but the ultimate goal is to connect with a creative force whose power he doesn’t hint at. decline, over sixty years later. Ultimately, the story is about two boys, Mick and Keith, and their unique, tense and alchemical bond, often tested, but never broken. The Glimmer Twins, like Charlie Watts, who found their chemistry with this pair of stars, made it through unscathed, while those who struggled, like Brian Jones and Mick Taylor, were chewed up and spat out dark, including a surprising number of deaths. But whether Jagger and Richards sold their souls to the devil at the crossroads for blues greatness or simply squeezed their heroes for every last drop of inspiration, ultimately their connection to the music and to each other placed them in a unique category, where they still are.”
