    About this ebook

    “Throwing Stones (The British Invasion Years)” (Includes Video & Audio Notebooks at End of Manuscript)
    The Rolling Stones were a big part of the decade in culture and sound. They, along with The Beatles, led the way. The Stones were the anti-Beatles by design. I will go into detail as the eBook rolls along and you will get a great understanding as to how they pulled it off.

    Mick Jagger and Keith Richard emerged as great collaborators and songwriters, rivaled only by Lennon & McCartney for output. They became social commentators with songs like “Street Fighting Man” and “You Can’t Always get What You Want.” They were also immersed in the drug culture of the day, as evidenced by songs like “Mothers Little Helper.”

    This book will cover the first part of the journey for the band up to the death of founding member Brian Jones in 1969. This era coincides with the demise of The Beatles as well. ‘Throwing Stones’ goes through the music and the times this band helped to shape.

      Intro

      The 1960s were a time of experimentation and political strife throughout the world. The British rock and roll bands of the day were the fashion and trend setters who led the way with their long hair and colorful clothes.

      The Rolling Stones were a big part of the decade in culture and sound. They, along with The Beatles, led the way. The Stones were the anti-Beatles by design. I will go into detail as the eBook rolls along and you will get a great understanding as to how they pulled it off.

      Mick Jagger and Keith Richard emerged as great collaborators and songwriters, rivaled only by Lennon & McCartney for output. They became social commentators with songs like "Street Fighting Man and You Can’t Always get What You Want. They were also immersed in the drug culture of the day, as evidenced by songs like Mothers Little Helper."

      This book will cover the first part of the journey for the band up to the death of founding member Brian Jones in 1969. This era coincides with the demise of The Beatles as well.

      ‘Throwing Stones’ goes through the music and the times this band helped to shape.

      I will discuss their emergence as writers, rockers and artists.

      They had guidance.

      Andrew Loog Oldham is a key figure in the story of The Rolling Stones. The former Beatles aid guided the band in their early years, pretty much creating the mystique and image that would carry them to superstardom before leaving them in the late 1960s. Allen Klein (later of The Beatles) was involved in their financial picture and his participation will be discussed as well.

      There were so many factors that helped propel The Rolling Stones into the upper stratosphere of rock and roll.

      It Started in Dartford

      Mick and Keith knew each other as little kids. They were friends in Dartford, Kent until Mick’s family moved to Wilmington. The two reunited in 1960 when they ran into each other at a train station. Mick Jagger had a handful of Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters records under his arm and the two picked up where they left off years earlier.

      Mick had been playing in a band with his friend
