Get Your 'Sticky Fingers' On Bill German's New Rolling Stones Book

bill00302.jpg

Bill German is the author of Under Their Thumb, a first-hand account of his encounters with the Rolling Stones.

German met the band while he was a teenager, shortly after launching his Stones-only magazine, Beggars Banquet, which lasted seventeen years. Upon being discovered for his talents, German went on to travel with the band, even going so far as to attend their recording sessions and visit their homes.

Under Their Thumb offers a humorous and poignant look at what life is like with one of the most renowned rock 'n' roll bands, as well as some exclusive photographs. It is now available at bookstores.

Bill German? Is this guy still alive? He had an ego the size of Los Angeles, but then again a kid from Brooklyn finds himself in the inner sanctum of the world's longest lived (if not greatest) rock n' roll band in the world, so I guess a bit of ego is required.

A kid realizes his dream; but then again be very careful what you wish for, you might be unlucky enough to receive it!

Typical scenario though - a fan gets to be on the "inside" where many other fans would love to have been and then what does he do? He sells out and tells all. So much for class and dignity. Holding confidences.

It's too bad though. at this point his tell-all book is so out-of-touch, and old news that it's likely no genuine fan nor even a casual reader will give it much of a glance. Perhaps he can sell copies to his family and friends?

I actually just finished the book and I enjoyed it. One should read it before they judge or write reviews.
