Hardback. Condizione: Good. "An affectionate portrait, one that recognizes Watts as musician, colleague, family man, obsessive collector and immaculate dresser."--Sunday Times "Sexton, a longtime Stones chronicler, tells Watts's story with warmth and diligence."--Observer The fully authorized and official music biography of legendary Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts, one of the world's most revered and celebrated musicians of the last half century. Forewords by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards Charlie Watts was one of the most decorated musicians in the world, having joined the Rolling Stones, a few months after their formation, early in 1963. A student of jazz drumming, he was headhunted by the band after bumping into them regularly in London's rhythm and blues clubs. Once installed at the drum seat, he didn't miss a gig, album or tour in his 60 years in the band. He was there throughout the swinging sixties, the early shot at superstardom and the Stones' world conquest; and throughout the debauchery of the 1970s, typified by 1972's Exile on Main St., considered one of the great albums of the century. By the 1980s, Charlie was battling his own demons, but emerged unscathed to enhance his unparalleled reputation even further over the ensuing decades. Watts went through band bust-ups, bereavements and changes in personnel, managers, guitarists and rhythm sections, but remained the rock at the heart of the Rolling Stones for nearly 60 years--the thoughtful, intellectual but no less compelling counterpoint to the raucousness of his bandmates Keith Richards, Mick Jagger and Ronnie Wood. And this official biography is his story. This intimate and official biography reveals the man behind the beat: A Jazzman in a Rock Band: Discover how Charlie's lifelong passion for jazz drumming shaped the unique rhythm of one of the world's biggest rock and roll bands. The Band's Anchor: Learn how Watts remained the steady, thoughtful counterpoint to the raucous energy of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood for nearly 60 years. Surviving the Seventies: Go behind the scenes of the band's most infamous era, from the debauchery of 1972's Exile on Main St. to Charlie's personal battles in the 1980s. Exclusive Forewords: Read intimate, firsthand accounts from his legendary bandmates, with personal forewords by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. A panoramic narrative history that will give readers a new understanding of the Rolling Stones, viewed through the impassioned and opinionated lens of the Vanity Fair contributor--and co-creator of HBO's Vinyl--who was along for the ride as a young reporter on the road with the band in the 1990s 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 story begins at the beginning: the fateful meeting of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards on a train platform in 1961--and goes on to span decades, with a focus on the golden run--from the albums Beggars Banquet (1968) to Exile on Main Street (1972)--when the Stones were prolific and innovative and at the height of their powers. Cohen is equally as good on the low points as the highs, and he puts his finger on the moments that not only defined the Stones as gifted musicians schooled in the blues and arguably the most innovative songwriters of their generation, but as the avatars of so much in our modern culture. In the end, though, after the drugs and the girlfriends and the rows, there is the music. The Sun & The Moon & The Rolling Stones makes you want to listen to every song in your library anew and search out the obscure gems that you've yet to hear. The music, together with Cohen's fresh and galvanizing consideration of the band, will define, once and forever, why the Stones will always matter.

Cohen's own interviews even yield some new Stones lore.--The Wall Street Journal Cohen] can catch the way a record can seem to remake the world and] how songs make a world you can't escape.--Pitchfork No one can tell this story, wringing new life even from the leathery faces of mummies like the Rolling Stones, like Rich Cohen. . . . The book beautifully details the very meaning of rock 'n' roll.--New York Observer Masterful . . . Hundreds of books have been written about this particular band and Cohen's] will rank among the very best of the bunch.--Chicago Tribune Cohen, who has shown time and time again he can take any history lesson and make it personal and interesting . . . somehow tells the Stones'] story in a whole different way. This might be the best music book of 2016.--Men's Journal Cohen's] account of the band's rise from 'footloose' kids to 'old, clean, prosperous' stars is, like the Stones, irresistible.--People You will, as with the best music bios, want to follow along on vinyl.--The Washington Post A fresh take on dusty topics like Altamont and the Stones' relationship with the Beatles . . . Cohen takes pilgrimages to places like Nellc te, the French mansion where the Stones made Exile on Main Street, and recounts fascinating moments from his time on tour.--Rolling Stone On the short list of worthwhile books about the Stones . . .

Hardback. Condizione: Good. Warum sind wir auf der Welt? Was ist der Sinn des Lebens und was kommt nach dem Tod? Gibt es Gott und ein Jenseits wirklich? Derartige Fragen beschaftigen die Menschheit praktisch von Beginn an. Die Antworten, die die verschiedenen Religionen darauf bieten, stellen viele jedoch nicht zufrieden und werfen weitere Fragen auf, nicht zuletzt weil unmenschliche und grausame Glaubenskriege, nicht nur in der Vergangenheit, eine erschreckend hohe Zahl von Opfern gefordert haben und nicht wenige an der Existenz eines Gottes und seiner Gerechtigkeit zweifeln lassen. Andererseits berichten viele Menschen uber sogenannte Nahtoderfahrungen, in denen sie Kontakt mit Gott und verstorbenen Verwandten oder mit ehemaligen Freunden und Bekannten hatten und dabei eindrucksvolle Blicke ins Jenseits werfen durften. Sind das alles tatsachlich nur Hirn-gespinste, die alleine in Deutschland bereits uber 3 Millionen Menschen erlebt haben? Der Autor beschaftigt sich schon seit vielen Jahren mit dieser Thematik. Umfangreiche Informationen hierzu dienten als Grundlage fur einen Roman, dessen Handlung sich uberwiegend im Jenseits abspielt und so weitreichende Einblicke und Erkenntnisse aus einer ubernaturlichen Welt vermittelt.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. German is party to all sort of Stones' doings, many of which are enjoyable, quite a few of which are scandalous. Great rock 'n' roll Babylon stuff.- Booklist (Starred Review) The epic tale of an obsessive teenager who launched a Rolling Stones fanzine and spent the next two decades capturing the band's whirlwind metamorphosis from behind the scenes.First-rate, firsthand account of the world's greatest rock 'n' roll band, and a disenchanted chronicle of its increasingly crass commercialization.- Kirkus Reviews As a teenager, Bill German knew exactly what he wanted to do with his life: chronicle the career and adventures of his favorite rock band, the Rolling Stones. And in 1978, on his sixteenth birthday, he set out to make his dream a reality. Feverishly typed in his Brooklyn bedroom, and surreptitiously printed in his high school's mimeograph room German's Stones-only newsletter, Beggars Banquet, was born. His teachers discouraged it, his parents dismissed it as a phase, and his disco-loving classmates preferred the Bee Gees, but, for German, this primitive, pre-Internet fanzine was a labor of love. And a fateful encounter with his idols on the streets of New York soon proved his efforts weren't in vain. Impressed with Beggars Banquet, the Stones gave the 'zine instant cred on the rock scene by singing its praises-and by inviting German to hang with the band. At first a fish out of water in the company of rock royalty, German found himself spilling orange juice on a priceless rug in Mick Jagger's house and getting pegged as a narc by pals of Keith Richards and Ron Wood. But before long he became a familiar fixture in the inner sanctum, not just reporting Stones stories but living them. He was a player in the Mick-versus-Keith feud and was an eyewitness to Keith's midlife crisis and Ron's overindulgences. He even had a reluctant role in covering up Mick's peccadilloes. In the span of a few months, German recalls, I'd gone from wanting to know everything about my favorite rock stars to knowing too much. In this warts-and-all book, which includes many never-before-seen photographs, German takes us to the Stones' homes, recording sessions, and concerts around the world. He charts the band's rocky path from the unthinkable depths of a near breakup to the obscenely lucrative heights of their blockbuster tours. And ultimately, German reveals why his childhood dream come true became a passion he finally had to part with. Under Their Thumb is an up-close and extremely personal dispatch from the amazing, exclusive world of the Rolling Stones, by someone who was lucky enough to live it-and sober enough to remember it all.…
