Rolling Stones Biography by Bob Spitz: Focus on Musicians, Not Music
In a new biography, American author Bob Spitz chronicles the sixty-year career of the Rolling Stones. The book, titled 'Rolling Stones: Sechzig Jahre lang Satisfaction. Und erst ein bisschen müde' (Sixty Years of Satisfaction. And Only a Little Tired), is reviewed in the Neue Zürcher Zeitung. Spitz, known for his biographies of other music icons, tells the band's story competently but shows more interest in the musicians themselves than in their music. The review suggests that while the biography is well-researched, it may not satisfy readers seeking deep musical analysis. The band, which has been active for six decades, continues to be a subject of fascination. The review does not specify a publication date or the book's publisher.
