Bob Spitz's "The Rolling Stones: The Biography" is a groundbreaking reckoning with the world's greatest rock 'n' roll band, charting their 60-year journey. Drawing on decades of music industry experience and five years of dedicated research, Spitz offers a fresh eye to their epic story. The biography delves into myriad revisions of the conventional narrative, piercing through incrusted myths and presenting an irresistible, clear-eyed portrait of the band. At its heart, the story explores the unique, fraught, and alchemical bond between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, the "Glimmer Twins," a connection often tested but never sundered. It also examines the fate of bandmates, like Charlie Watts who found his groove, and others like Brian Jones and Mick Taylor who were "chewed up and spit out." The book does not shy away from the dark corners and surprising number of deaths encountered along the way, while ultimately connecting with the creative force whose power shows no signs of fading. Spitz’s magisterial work provides an all-access backstage pass, revealing how the band redefined rock 'n' roll and continue to break new ground after sixty years.
