Download Under Their Thumb: How a Nice Boy from Brooklyn Got Mixed Up with the Rolling Stones (and Lived to Tell About It) AudioBook Free
Invoice German was a fairly normal teen growing up in Brooklyn - frustrated at ladies, frustrated at college, but usually frustrated at the poor reporting in publications and on the air of his favorite music group, The Rolling Rocks. So, on his sixteenth birthday, dressed in his pajamas, he attempt to, well, set the record right on Mick, Keith, Ron, and Charlie. Beggars Banquet started out as a simple fanzine, but as good luck would have it, the music group was living only a subway drive away. After chasing after them around, forcing issues into their hands, and following their every move in the column "Where the Boys Go", he broke into their internal sanctum. He began to get on visitor lists, invites to parties, and finally became more than just a fan, and, more importantly, more than just a journalist. When Invoice was 21, Beggars Banquet became the official Rolling Stones newsletter. He went on tours round the world, watched shows backstage, co-wrote a booklet with Ron Real wood, drank Jack Daniels with Keith, spilled orange drink on Mick's Persian rug, partied at Eric Clapton's London flat, and was considered a pal of the biggest band in the world. Under Their Thumb is a genuine life Almost Famous, but instead with the biggest names in rock 'n roll. Invoice German's only job ever before was dealing with the Rolling Rocks. Sounds like a fantasy; but his history quickly causes him to heed Keith's fatherly advice (which was dispensed over whiskey, of course), and reconsider this fantasy. You intend to hang with the Rocks? Be cautious what you wish for....
