reading "The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones" by Stanley Booth right now.
really incredible, best rock book ever written IMO, and also sort of transcends being a mere band bio and caputures the death of the 60s and that dream as well as anything this side of Fear & Loathing
basically, Booth seems to have had near total access to the Stones during the entire tour for Let It Bleed that culminates in Altamont
he's a stunning writer, I guess it took him 15 years to write the book, didn't come out till the mid 80s
can't recommend it more highly

listened to aftermath - my favorite stones LP - last nite and was remindedthat, as pointless as their existence is today, they were great back when.

No, they do not, Mr. Que. They're also going to play somewhere, I believe, they have not for over 40 years.

I was listening to them this morning. <3 for all time. I don't think I'd go see them though - not at this point anyway.
