The Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright presents this impressionistic, visual diary of the 22-city tour of Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue in 1975, which included Joni Mitchell, Allen Ginsberg, and Arlo Guthrie. Shepard captures the camaraderie, isolation, and pill-popping mayhem of the tour. 40 photos. In the autumn of 1975, when "New England is festering with Bicentennial madness," Bob Dylan and his Rolling Thunder Revue-a rag-tag variety show that Dylan envisioned as a traveling gypsy circus-toured twenty-two cities across the Northeast. Swept up in the motley crew, which included Joni Mitchell, Mick Ronson, Allen Ginsberg, Arlo Guthrie, Joan Baez, and Ramblin' Jack Elliot, was playwright Sam Shepard, ostensibly hired to write, on the spot, the script for a Fellini-esque, surreal movie that would come out of the tour. The script never materialized, but throughout the many moods and moments of his travels with Dylan and his troupe, Shepard kept an impressionistic "Rolling Thunder Logbook" of life on the road. Illuminated by forty candid photographs by official tour photographer Ken Regan, Shepard's mental-snap shots capture the camaraderie, isolation, head games, and pill-popping mayhem of the tour, providing a window into Dylan's singular talent, enigmatic charisma, and vision of America.

La fama y el éxito logrados por The Rolling Stones en sus casi 60 años de carrera no tiene parangón; sus riffs más famosos y sus letras más pegadizas están grabadas de forma indeleble en nuestra memoria colectiva. Con su fascinante presencia dentro y fuera del escenario, los Stones establecieron el estandar de como una banda de rock debe sonar, posar, hacerse notar y comportarse. Fueron los primeros en comprender instintivamente que la apariencia era tan importante como la musica, y que la fotografia tenia un papel vital en la promocion de esa imagen. La ropa y el cabello son siempre perfectos, describe la escritora Lucy Sante. Se interpretaban a si mismos, pero con una sutileza tan consistente que sabias que eran instintivamente conscientes de la presencia de la camara y de lo bien que se verian en las fotos. Como era de esperar, muchos de los mas grandes fotografos de la historia quisieron tomar sus propias imagenes.

A finales de los sesenta, los Stones iniciaron un accidentado camino en busca de su propia identidad. Y lo encontraron en forma de cuatro discos magistrales: Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers y Exile on Main St., que sirvieron para enterrar su eterna comparacion con los Beatles y que ayudaron a fundar las bases de su sonido moderno. En Villa Nellcote, en plena Costa Azul, exiliados de su tierra por cuestiones financieras, surgio Exile on Main St. Ya fuera el mar, la brisa marina, o el opio de la mafia corsa, de ese momento vital surgio el que quiza sea uno de los mejores discos de la banda y un punto de inflexion en el que nada seria ya como antes. Este es el relato sobre la gestacion de un album que cambiaria la historia de la musica para siempre.

While the Mick Jagger of today drips with millions and seems to have become a member of the aristocratic establishment, there was once a time when he and his fellow Rolling Stones were rebels every bit as anti-establishment as the Sex Pistols. Jailed for drug possession and demonized by the very establishment that now claims Mick as one of their own, the Stones have let slip their true feelings on many occasions, and this book aims to catch these off guard moments, unearthing statements and interviews long forgotten. It examines history as it was being made, rediscovering unguarded and often indiscreet comments and frank opinions that might later have been denied altogether. This is verbal documentary laced with the authentic flavour of the rebellious Rolling Stones in their heyday, the craziness that surrounded Mick and Keith and their disintegrating companion Brian Jones, the Stone who died from overexposure to everything the Sixties could offer.
