Up and Down With the Rolling Stones

Rating:
Summary: Keith,Keith,Keith
Review: This is a book for someone who wants to step out of the '90's, and into the decadant drug-soaed early '70's. Who better to do that with than Mr. Keith Richard. This book takes you on a journey. A journey through Stonesland when they were at there peak. I've read 5 mllion Stones books, and this rates right up there with Booth & Greenfield's books.

Summary: Intro to Rolling Stones 101
Review: Though this lurid account of the lives of the Rolling Stones remains the most readable of any Stones book that I have encountered, I think it is important to compare this "non-fiction" tale with Bill Wyman's "Stone Alone." Tony Sanchez, according to Wyman, should not be believed. Who really knew Brian, Mick, and Keith? You decide.

Summary: A Must For Stones Fans , But How Accurate is Spanish Tony?
Review: Up & Down is one of those "Can't Put It Down" type of books. Tony Sanchez has compiled a reading that is a must for all Stones fans. The real question is towards the legitamacy of the actual stories that have be written in Tonys' words. I've read other Stones materials where Wyman and "KEEF" have laughed at the content of UP & Down due to the BS factor. Regardless , for the educated Stones reader , several of the actual stories / happenings seem to have been repeated in other publications. I found great enjoyment in UP & Down regardless if some of the actual occassions were somewhat stretched. The Ups & Downs that keith has gone thru has been absolutely hilarious, actually he is the kind of person who would be fun to hang out with.

Review: Well, all I can say is if I indulged in all the decadence that Keith Richards did, I'd never be able to get a job as even a burger flipper at McDonald's, my reputation/resume would be so damaged. But Keith ends up richer and more successful, more legendary, and having meetings with world leaders like Vaclav Havel. I'd love to have that kind of freedom to misbehave and get away with it. Ahhh, rock stardom...!

Summary: Entertaining but hard to believe.
Review: When you write about one of the greatest rock bands ever, you have the potential to make alot of money if you make the story interesting enough. I think that's what Sanchez was doing here; mixing just enough lies with the truth to come up with great copy. Unfortunately, it's hard to tell the fluff from the real stuff which is sad, because I'll bet the actual true account of the Stones would be even better! As they say, "Truth is stranger than fiction."
