Ain't It Time We Said Goodbye (eBook, ePUB)

The Rolling Stones on the Road to Exile

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

For ten days in March 1971, the Rolling Stones traveled by train and bus to play two shows a night in many of the small theaters and town halls where their careers began. No backstage passes. No security. No sound checks or rehearsals. And only one journalist allowed. That journalist now delivers a full-length account of this landmark event, which marked the end of the first chapter of the Stones' extraordinary career.

Ain't It Time We Said Goodbye is also the story of two artists on the precipice of mega stardom, power, and destruction. For Mick and Keith, and all those who traveled with them, the farewell tour of England was the end of the innocence.

Based on Robert Greenfield's first-hand account and new interviews with many of the key players, this is a vibrant, thrilling look at the way it once was for the Rolling Stones and their fans-and the way it would never be again.

Rezensionen

Roanoke Times , 6/15/14
Greenfield's engaging style pulls the reader into this Britain of the past. He writes in present tense, which makes the reader feel as if she is hanging out backstage with Mick and Keith, and not merely reading tales of the long ago youth of these now aging rock stars...Although all of the sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll one would expect in a Stones bio is here, Greenfield also highlights the band members' humanity."

Hudson Valley News , 7/2/14
If you loved the Stones, and want a trip down memory lane, pick up this book and remember."

Portland Book Review , 7/9/14
Easy to read."

Houston Press , 7/1/14
[Greenfield] has a keen literary take on super-strong personalities. And Ain't It Time We Said Goodbye ...brings those personalities to life."

Waterbury Sunday Republican , 6/29/14
This book has it appeals, particularly in the portraits Greenfield provides of peripheral players in the Stones' orbit...The book also captures an England and Scotland that would be hard to find now...Some surprises await even those Stones fans who think they've heard it all."
