Keith Richards: Life As a Rolling Stone

Rating:
Summary: Huge Keef Fan in CA
Review: I am probably one of Keith's biggest fans, so I have read everything I can get my hands on about him. This book is currently out of print, and I am so glad I have a copy of it. It has fabulous pictures of Keith, Anita, Marlon and of course the rest of the Stones. I believe this book is more 'real' than the Victor Bockris book (although I liked that one as well) since Ms. Charone actually lived at Redlands for a while. She pulls no punches. I'ts the good, bad and busted. Snatch it up while you can. A must for any Stones fan.

Summary: Classic rock and roll bio.
Review: I read this book more than fifteen years ago and still rate it among the best biographies I've read, in no small part due to the fact that Keith is the quintessential rock star. A really good read, but it may prompt you cut your own hair, throw televisions off of balconies, and buy every Stones album you can find.

Summary: good
Review: If you are a fan of the "Some Girls" album, this is the book to read, since the author was there when some of the album was recorded (and writes about it in this book). This biography was done with Keith's consent, too, so the author spent time with Keith, and witnessed and writes about many interesting things (like Keith actually shooting up heroin in front of her, for one).
