THE ROLLING STONES

Book ID/图书代码： 12751010B37156

English Summary/英文概要： In 1962 Mick Jagger was a bright, well-scrubbed boy (planning a career in the civil service), while Keith Richards was learning how to smoke and to swivel a six-shooter. Add the mercurial Brian Jones (who’d been effectively run out of Cheltenham for theft, multiple impregnations and playing blues guitar) and the wryly opinionated Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts, and the potential was obvious. During the 1960s and 70s the Rolling Stones were the polarising figures in Britain, admired in some quarters for their flamboyance, creativity and salacious lifestyles, and reviled elsewhere for the same reasons. Confidently expected never to reach 30 they are now approaching their seventies and, in 2012, will have been together for 50 years. In The Rolling Stones, Christopher Sandford tells the human drama at the centre of the Rolling Stones story. Sandford has carried out interviews with members of the Stones themselves, close family members (including Mick’s parents), the group’s fans and contemporaries - even examined their previously unreleased FBI files. Like no other book before The Rolling Stones will make sense of the rich brew of clever invention and opportunism, of talent, good fortune, insecurity, self-destructiveness, and of drugs, sex and other excess, that made the Stones who they are.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 1962年，Mick Jagger还是一个白净、阳光的男孩（打算从事公务员的职业）。而Keith Richards则在学习抽烟和玩六发式左轮手枪。外加变幻无常的Brian Jones（他因盗窃、性滥交和玩布鲁斯吉他而逃离切尔滕纳姆）还有固执而挖苦人的Bill Wyman和Charlie Watts，他们的潜力显而易见。二十世纪60到70年间，滚石乐队是英国颇具争议性的人物。因其靓丽的外形、天才的创造力和淫糜的生活作风而受到一些人的欣赏，但也被另一些人斥责。曾自信地认为自己永远不会到30岁，然而现在他们都已经是70多岁高龄。至2012年，他们已相伴长达五十载。在《滚动》这本书中，Christopher Sandford将为我们讲述一部以滚石乐队故事为核心的人生戏曲。Sandford采访了滚石乐队的成员本人、他们的亲密家庭成员(包括Mick的父母)、乐队粉丝以及和乐团成员同时代的人。作者甚至查阅了这些人以前未公开的联邦调查局文档。与其他的书不同，《滚石》会把这样一个大杂烩变得有意义：聪明的发明、契机、好运、不安全感、自我毁灭、毒品和性等等。正是这些使“滚石”成为“滚石”。(LNL)
