Ideal for fans of rock music history, cultural biographies, and anyone intrigued by the behind-the-scenes life of iconic musicians.

Description

Rich Cohen enters the Stones epic as a young journalist on the road with the band and quickly falls under their sway—privy to the jokes, the camaraderie, the bitchiness, the hard living. Inspired by a lifelong appreciation of the music that borders on obsession, Cohen's chronicle of the band is informed by the rigorous views of a kid who grew up on the music and for whom the Stones will always be the greatest rock 'n' roll band of all time.

The Sun & the Moon & the Rolling Stones is a non-fiction book that reads like a novel filled with the greatest musicians, agents, and artists of the most indelible age in pop culture. It's a book only Rich, with his unique access, experience, and love of the band, could write.
