Spade and Mcaputo (and everyone) read "Old Gods Almost Dead" if you want a comprehensive Stonesography. You get to hear about Ronnie's $500 a day freebase habit, and Brian Jones's penchant for beating the shit out of women, and everything else yail talks about.

Of course, if you want the PUR stuff, read Spanish Tony and Stanley Booth's books. Then try to live your life as if you were going through those stories personally. Wake up 5 years later and realize you wasted your life. Rinse, repeat.


Thanks, GAR. I'm more and more fascinated with the Stones the more I hang out with you guys here.


I've always loved the music, and the myths, and this will do nothing but grow your appreciation for both. Glad we can be of SOME help around here ;)

I've tend to stay away from these but since it's Keef and the greatest rock n roll band in the world how can I resist.

Thanks Senator -

I missed this yesterday, but I had to go with Stevie.
Sprawling, freaking masterpiece.

Ramones a close second.

Flat out, hands down, drop dead, knee-bucklingly some of the most lyrical, beautiful, instrumental music ever to be put to wax.
