"The raw, unvarnished truth of what it was like to be part of the inner circle on what was then the cutting edge, not only of rock 'n' roll but of the entire culture as well." -- Los Angeles Times Book Review. "Hotchner has done a supeerb job re-creating the millieu of the Sixties and the Stones." -- Book World Review. "Leaving no Stone unturned -- not even a dead one -- A.E. Hotchner's Blown Away portrays the Rolling Stones and the '60s locked in a deadly embrace that overrode the decade's early romantic idealism and swallowed both in an orgy of drugs, madness, and violence." -- The Washington Post. "In this fascinating trip through the dark underside of the glittering '60s, A.E. Hotchner paints a complelling portrait of the world's most famous rock 'n' roll band and the era that created it. Based on over 200 personal interviews with the consorts and courtiers of their Satanic Majesties' royal court -- including Marianne Faithfull and Anita Pallenberg, manager Andrew Oldham, Chris Jagger, Mary Quant, Tina Turner, and original band members Dick Taylor and Ian Stewart -- Blown Away is a revelatory look at the world of wealth, power, and privilege that surrounded the Stones. Tracing their humble beginnings to their meteoric ascent to superstar status, Hotchner explores their notorious sex lives, exorbitant drug habits, and explosive creativity." -- from the rear outer cover.

But the Stones want to burn your town." - Tom Wolfe. "The acclaimed bestselling rock-and-roll biographer delivers the first complete, unexpurgated history of the world's greatest band. The saga of the Rolling Stones is the central epic in rock mythology. From their debut as the intermission band at London's Marquee Club in 1962 through their latest record-setting Bridges to Babylon world tour, the Rolling Stones have defined a musical genre and experienced godlike adulation, quarrels, addiction, legal traumas, and descents into madness and death - while steadfastly refusing to fade away. Now Stephen Davis, the New York Times bestselling author of Hammer of the Gods and Walk This Way, who has followed the Stones for three decades, presents their whole story, replete with vivid details of the Stones' musical successes - and personal excesses. Born into the wartime England of air-raid sirens, bombing raids, and strict rationing, the Rolling Stones came of age in the 1950s, as American blues and pop arrived in Europe. Among London's most ardent blues fans in the early 1960s was a short blond teenage guitar player named Brian Jones, who hooked up with a lorry driver's only son, Charlie Watts, a jazz drummer. At the same time, popular and studious Michael Philip Jagger - who, as a boy, bawled out a phonetic version of "La Bamba" with an eye-popping intensity that scared his parents - began sharing blues records with a primary school classmate, Keith "Ricky" Richards, a shy underachiever, whose idol was Chuck Berry. In 1962 the four young men, joined by Bill Perks (later Wyman) on bass, formed a rhythm and blues band that Brian Jones named "the Rollin' Stones" in honor of the Muddy Waters blues classic. Using the biography of the Rolling Stones as a narrative spine, Old Gods Almost Dead builds a new, multi-layered version of the Stones' story, locating the band beyond the musical world they dominated and showing how they influenced, and were influenced by the other artistic movements of their era: the blues revival, Swinging London, the Beats, Bob Dylan's Stones-inspired shift from protest to pop, Pop Art and Andy Warhol's New York, the "Underground" politics of the 1960s, Moroccan energy and European orientalism, Jamaican reggae, the Glam and Punk subcultures, and the technological advances of the video and digital revolution. At the same time, Old Gods Almost Dead documents the intense backstage lives of the Stones: the feuds, the drugs, the marriages, and the affairs that inspired and informed their songs; and the business of making records and putting on shows. The first new biography of the Rolling Stones since the early 1980s, Old Gods Almost Dead is the most comprehensive book to date, and one of the few to cover all the band's members. Illustrated throughout with photos of pivotal moments, it is a celebration of the Rolling Stones as an often courageous, often foolish gang of artists who showed us not only new worlds but new ways of living in them. It is a saga as raunchily, vibrantly entertaining as the Stones themselves." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. N° de réf. du vendeur 008466
