Thirty years ago, the Rolling Stones swept America, taking Exile on Main Street to Main Streets across the nation. Everyone held their breath to see what would happen; the Stones previous U.S. tour had been a chaotic circus culminating in the infamous death of a fan at Altamont. And this tour (the Stones Touring Party) was rumored to be wilder than ever: bigger shows in major arenas, with a far larger entourage and even more drugs. Robert Greenfield went along for the ride, and came away with a riveting insiders account, called by Ian Rankin one of the greatest rock books ever written. The reality lived up to the rumor: take one part Lee Radziwill, a dash of Truman Capote, set the scene at Hefs Playboy mansion, and toss in the county jail for good measure. That was the Stones Touring Party, the ultimate rock n roll band at the height of its spectacular depravity.About the Author:Robert Greenfields books include Timothy Leary: A Biography, and S.T.P.: A Journey Through America with the Rolling Stones. An award-winning novelist, playwright, screenwriter, and journalist, he lives in California.
