She did and Marlon has said he'll release it once certain people have passed away.
That would be dull.
'Certain people'....Mick? Keith?
Can understand the logic up to a point, but any interest (ie sales) will wane the longer it is left.
He didn't say who. I'm sure he's not concerned about sales, but interest will be there for a long time.

Didn't Keith pay for her appartement and her living? Whould be sincere not to give an insiders look, that would have been kiss and tell. Marlon prob waits till keith has gone, and even then.. I don't see the point.He prob won't.

Yes, because joining the WORLD’S GREATEST ROCK AND ROLL BAND AT 20 makes for a dull story.
Unfortunately that will include many of us. It's all right. I get the idea. All I give a crap about now is any unreleased music from the Golden Era, the first 30 years.
Yes. It's not the band, it's the person who joined that would make it a dull read.
Woke up, played guitar solos all day and night, went to bed.
I would love to read your book about the Rolling Stones. I am the first one to buy it. Chapter One: The Rolling Stones. Chapter Two: The Rolling Stones minus Brian Jones. Chapter Three: The Rolling Stones minus Brian Jones.
My book would be quite ridiculously obsessive...
"You must be the expert. I was merely attempting assist from another location without listening or going through this sorta bullshit. You remind of your subject matter. Anal ..."

It would of course only cover up to 1969.

A stones memories by Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman, hand in hand. That would be the most close to truth account about the band. It would not be a complete story at all, but a reasonably sincere one.
Do you agree?

Well, well... in the nineties Charlie Watts said: "I hope we don't end up writing our memoires." By now he and Mick Jagger are the only Stones who did not publish a book on their lives. Bill Wyman writes and talks a lot about his life, Charlie Watts seems to be more discrete. Keith Richards published an incredible amount of rubbish in his embarrassing "Life". So I am not sure if we need another book.

Yes - apart from his remarks about Jagger he says that he gets mad when somebody eats an onion in his kitchen. He does not want people to bust the crust of his pie - this is idiotic behavior. Richards writes about Wood's drinking problems in a way which is not very nice. And the bla bla about "showing the blade" is silly too. I like Richards'guitar playing, but the book was disappointing.Quote

I don't think Charlie would ever write a book about his time in the Stones.
He seems to have spent most of his life in a state of bemused embarrassment about making such a good living playing the drums for a pop group.

The Rolling Stones history is so infused with myth that we'll never get a clear look at them. Bill's books appear to be the best, though even he holds back about certain things. And, Bill didn't hang around for a lot of the nonsense. Besides, most of the interesting stuff happened in the Golden Era, 1962-1990. More than half of their existence is as a greatest hits band, with journeymen side musicians that could be replaced without notice.
I guess Anita didn't leave behind a manuscript. That would have been a real insider's look.

Another real insiders book would have been one by Ian Stewart and/or Alan Dunn (Road and Tour Manager, 40 years).

Perfect book about the Stones that wont ever be written ...
It would be authored by me. It'd be about the small private club show they performed for my friends and me...
Hanging out with them at the bar ...

I certainly wouldn't call Mick Taylor dull. Practically unknowable, sure. His addition to the apex of classic Stones music will never be dull. I think his inside view of the band would be interesting to hear, if he would ever tell it. I always state that you can't remove people from their time, and during Mick Taylor's actual hitch in the band, there was always something awkward about him.
There was an energy about the Jones/Jagger/Richard visual lineup that was jarring to lose. Mick Taylor lacked the visual charisma of Jones, or Wood. That seemed much more important back then. Bill already had the taciturn funeral stiff down pat, and was actually an anchor against the flamboyant front line. With time, and a deeper appreciation of the music, both Bill and Mick Taylor are now lauded for their musical contribution to the Stones.
Mick Taylor never did fit visually. Plus it was awkward to have two Micks in the band. As if it all matters now. Mick Taylor was simply the finest guitar player the Stones ever had.
