Description
Today we’ll be hopping across the pond to discuss The Rolling Stones with journalist, broadcaster and best-selling biographer, Lesley Ann Jones. Jones is the author of The Search for John Lennon; Bohemian Rhapsody: The Definitive Biography of Freddie Mercury; and Hero: David Bowie. A childhood friend of David Bowie, Lesley-Ann has interviewed many of the world's most-loved artists, including Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney, Madonna, and Prince, often forming lifelong friendships with her subjects.Jones has written a new book: The Stone Age: Sixty Years of The Rolling Stones, and we discuss the book’s fresh perspective on the band. The Stones are bigger than a band, they are a brand – and their reputation has somehow survived the rumors, indiscretions and drug fueled tales that might bring down lesser known bands. The book aims to look at these seemingly infallible men with the lens of today.You can find information on the book as well as Lesley-Ann’s other books with the links below:Lesley-Ann Jones' Website: https://www.lesleyannjones.com/The Stone Age: Sixty Years of the Rolling Stones: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Stone-Age/Lesley-Ann-Jones/9781639362073
