The Sun & the Moon & the Rolling Stones

'Rich Cohen writes like Mick Jagger. He's full of energy, swagger, and creativity.' - A. J. Jacobs 'Funny, soulful, impeccably reported, and beautifully written, The Sun & The Moon & The Rolling Stones will be the book about the Stones that will last.' - Ian Frazier Rich Cohen enters the Stones epic as a young Rolling Stones reporter on the road with the band. Privy to the jokes, the camaraderie, the bitchiness and the hard living, he quickly falls under their sway. The story begins with the fateful meeting of Mick and Keith on a train platform in1961 and goes on to span decades, with a focus on the golden run - from Beggar's Banquet (1968) to Exile on Main Street (1972) - when the Stones were prolific, innovative and at the height of their powers. This panoramic, stylish narrative history covers the drugs and the girlfriends and the rows and the endless reunions, and of course, the music. In The Sun & The Moon & The Rolling Stones, Cohen's fresh and galvanising consideration of the band will define, once and forever, why the Stones will always matter.
