The Sun & the Moon & the Rolling Stones

A panoramic, stylish narrative history of the Rolling Stones, viewed through the impassioned and opinionated lens ofVanity Fair contributor Rich Cohen, who traveled with the band in the 1990s as a reporter forRolling Stone
 
Rich Cohen enters the Stones epic as a young journalist on the road with the band and quickly falls under their sway—privy to the jokes, the camaraderie, the bitchiness, the hard living. Inspired by a lifelong appreciation of the music that borders on obsession, Cohen’s chronicle of the band is informed by the rigorous views of a kid who grew up on the music and for whom the Stones will always be the greatest rock ’n’ roll band of all time.
