Old Gods, Almost Dead
The saga of the Rolling Stones is the central epic in rock mythology. From their debut as the intermission band at London's Marquee club in 1962 through their current all-time box office record-setting Bridges to Babylon worldwide tour, the Rolling Stones have defined a musical genre and experienced godlike adulation, quarrels, addiction, legal traumas, and descents into madness and death -- while steadfastly refusing to fade away. Now Stephen Davis, The New York times bestselling author of Hammer of the Gods and Walk This Way, who has covered the Stones for three decades, presents their whole story, replete with vivid details on the Stones's musical successes -- and personal excesses -- drawn from interviews with the band, their ex-wives and lovers, members of their entourage, and fellow musicians. The first new biography of the Rolling Stones since the early 1980s, the most comprehensive book to date, and one of the few to cover all the band's members, Old Gods Almost Dead includes twenty-four dazzling, previously unpublished photographs. Inspired by their millions of fans' curiosity about the private world of the Stones, Old Gods Almost Dead is a saga as raunchily, vibrantly entertaining as the Stones themselves.

Chapter One


The Rollin' Stones


Yes, I will be famous. No, I won't make thirty.
—Brian Jones


I Will Be Famous

It would later seem ironic to many that Brian Jones, Wild Man of the Sixties, came from Cheltenham, the old Regency-era spa town in the Cotswolds whose springs had dried up long ago. Cheltenham was known for its bourgeois conformity and legions of the retired. It was a hotbed of rest. Cheltenham Ladies College was the most proper girls' school in Britain. But there was another side to Cheltenham that owed a lot to the American air bases nearby. The town had five movie theaters, ballrooms where bands played, coffee bars for hanging out. A clever boy like Brian could easily get an idea of the world waiting beyond the provincial beauty of the West Country.

Lewis Brian Hopkins-Jones was born on a winter Saturday night in 1942, during the dark days of the war. Father worked in the aircraft industry, mother played and taught the piano. Pure Welsh stock on both sides—a race of singers, musicians, poets despised by the English for being the descendants of the true Britons they displaced ... read full excerpt from Old Gods, Almost Dead ebook
