The Sun & the Moon & the Rolling Stones cover

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.

This is a non-fiction book that reads like a novel filled with the greatest musicians, agents and artists of the most indelible age in pop culture. It's a book only Rich, with his unique access, experience and love of the band could write.

... this is not only "only rock 'n' roll. This is a cultural juggernaut, a superstar band with a singular body of work that both influenced and reflected multiple generations... Mr Cohen's interviews even yield some new Stones lore...While he is an unabashed fan, he tempers his initial gobsmacked amazement with a sharp reporter's eye for human imperfections. * Wall Street Journal *
