"All of the infamous incidents are covered--Brian Jones' drowning death, Richards' 1967 drug bust and subsequent jail time, the violence at Altamont, and Richards' public feuding with Mick Jagger, most notably after Mick's knighthood. But what also comes through is his still-burning admiration for the Chicago blues musicians who were his greatest influence and his wariness of fame. Great reading for Stones' fans."-- Booklist "[An] entertaining look at one of rock's most iconic figures."-- Publishers Weekly "Sean Egan has done a terrific job of bringing together some of the best 'classic' Keith Richards interviews with little-known, hard-to-find gems that reveal more about the 'soul of the Stones.' As an interviewee, Keith Richards has always been the most entertaining Rolling Stone to read--at once straightforward, informative, and eloquent--and this collection is a great way to revisit fifty years of Stoneage." --Ian McPherson, timeisonourside.com "I love this book, weirdly more than Keiths own biography but as he himself admits here, its hard to relate to someone whos had his life..." - Chris McDougall, FFRUKiT!
