Under Their Thumb: How a Nice Boy from Brooklyn Got Mixed up with the Rolling Stones (and Lived to Tell about It)

A Great Rolling Stones ~ Rock Band Fan Book

I finally got around to reading this book a few weeks ago and I was pleasantly surprised at how good, not to mention how original, this book really was. This is not a memoir of a groupie of the Rolling Stones, but a true fan of the Rolling Stones and his adventures with the band from the time he was a teen until his early 30's.

Bill German was a young boy when he first heard the Rolling Stones' music and he was hooked. He wanted to know everything there was to know about the group. He was so intrigued, that as a teenager, he started his Fan Magazine, "Beggar's Banquet" about all things Rolling Stones. It took some time, but eventually, he even got the Stones to read "Beggar's Banquet" and from there, a long friendship with both Keith and Woody began and endured for over 10 years.

There are lots of great stories as well as lots of of never-before-seen photos.

Bill German got to live a life that few rock fans do. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and recommend it.

Could have been Magazine Article.........

I bought the book because I have all the books relating to the Stones. Some interesting stories, but a lot of issues dealing with people other than the Stones and very little on Jagger.
It doesn't have an ending -- rather it just stops.
WOuld not recommend.
