Why read it?
1 author picked The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

He writes about this with honesty and without romance, looking the devil in the eye with candor while also offering deep insights into bit characters like BB King and providing the definitive story of the Altamont fiasco.
From Alan's list on books that changed the way I think and write about music.
