The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones ReviewOkay, I am a huge fan of classic rock and punk music and I have a great time searching for new rock biographies, histories and memoirs to read. The Stones are one of the three bands I consider to be the "holy trinity" of British rock music (along with the Beatles and the Clash) and, after collecting 41 different albums of their music (yeegads!) I picked up a copy of this book, simply because I had heard it was good from another Stones fan.
What an understatement that turned out to be. "The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones" is not only the best book on rock 'n' roll I have yet read, and there have been many, it is also one of my top five books. Ever. As another reviewer already already stated, this book is many different things rolled into one. It is a deeply interesting document of the Stones' 1969 American tour (which included both Altamont and the recording of 'Get Yer Ya-Yas Out!' at Madison Square Garden). It is also a precise history of the band up to the point of its writing, a dreary and drug-soaked eulogy for the '60s and a deeply personal journal from the pen of Stanley Booth.
There isn't really anything else like this book. Unlike many rock biographers, Booth did not base his book on sketchy interviews and the "facts" presented in other people's books. He traveled with the Stones on the '69 tour and writes the story from his own point of view. This creates a very interesting situation for the reader because you get to see the Stones' world from Booth's eyes: as an outsider looking in. Each one of the Stones are captured beautifully through dialog and actions that Booth witnessed. You get to see everything from Keith's wry sense of humor to Mick's complexities as he tries to befriend Booth and keep him at arm's length all at once.
I can't stress to you how much you need to read this book if you are a Stones fan. As I read it, I was constantly stopping to admire the incredible writing of Stanley Booth. When you read this book, you will get to know him just as well as you get to know the Stones. With so many rock biographies written by hacks with no clue, "The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones" is a diamond in the rough. Buy it.The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones Overview
