According to the "Rolling Stones"

Author(s): Mick Jagger

Fiction

'The definitive story of The Rolling Stones' Heat In 2003, The Rolling Stones Forty Licks Tour sold out at venues across the country, testimony to their legendary status. In this remarkable book, the Stones themselves reveal the story behind that legend, getting right to the heart of what makes the group tick. It's the band's eye view of their history, punctuated by pithy comments on album and single releases, on memorable performances and on the ups and downs of their private world, and illustrated with 64 pages of stunning illustrations, many from their own personal archives. The book begins with their roots and what brought them together. It then charts their rise from playing in tiny clubs to their success as 'the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world. They describe how their music has evolved and how it has changed their lives. 'It wasn't so much a question of being a wizard on the guitar. You also had to be quite a magician to live with the Stones' Ronnie Wood
