THE ROLLING STONES 50 LICKS

50 Licks Myths and Stories from Half a Century of the Rolling Stones by Pete Fornatale - It's amazing to think that the Rolling Stones as a band is over 50 years old.  This book is a compilation of stories, interviews, vignettes and photos about some of the highlights of those 50 years.  It's super easy to read because there is little filler - the stories are told by the people who were there, including the Stones themselves.  Many of the interviews are from the time of or a few years after the events, so it's not like someone is remembering 50 years back.  If you like the Stones, this is a nicely paced, nicely edited version of their shared history, that will make you feel as if you were there too.
