Maybe do what Dylan did and break it down into decades or eras - to try and squeeze the Stones into one tome, as I learned from LIFE, seems a bit silly.
Nice book, stories well told - but when the '75 tour becomes one page - the '69 tour not much more - etc. I dunno - that much compression seems to rob the reader of lots of content - a career this rich in experiences gets a bit breezy, I think, when done like this.
Just my two cents - and I stand by the critique that the photo collection seems lazy

Charlie would write a fascinating book, a completely different view of things, less ego, without the weight of the Jagger/Richards interplay.

Whatever happened to the sequel to Stone Alone?

Proceeding very slowly, just finished the Exile chapter. Now I assume the last 200 pages will be full of bullshit and Mick-bashing, because nothing I've read so far justifies in any way the harsh comments most of you have reserved to the book. Will see, just in case I'm well prepared!
