Booth, Stanley, 1942-. The true adventures of the Rolling Stones, Chicago, IL : A Capella, 2000.“In the backstage doorway Jagger was standing, dressed in black trousers with silver buttons down the legs, black scoop-neck jersey with white Leo glyph on chest, wide metal-studded black belt, long red flowing scarf, on his head an Uncle Sam hat, his eyes wide and dark, looking like a bullfighter standing in the sun just inside the door of the arena, seeing nothing but the path he walks, toreros and banderilleros beside and behind him, to his fate.” Yes, this 416 page book by the American music journalist Stanley Booth, the Stones’ inner circle, is that detailed and engaging, with many more moments in this huge rock band's history captured in similar descriptive detail. A truly entertaining read.
