New music memoir: Under Their Thumb: How a Nice boy from Brooklyn Got Mixed Up With The Rolling Stones

Under Their Thumb:  How a Nice Boy from Brooklyn Got Mixed Up with The Rolling Stones (and Lived to Tell About It) by Bill German is a"warts-and-all" "tell-all" account of German's career working for the Rolling Stones as public relations guy, personal assistant, and all-around fixer.  A journalism student until he dropped out to follow the Stones, German always knew what he wanted to do with his life:  chronicle the work and career of his favorite band, The Rolling Stones.  Amazingly, German went from publisher of a fan-zine to personal confidant.  This is his story:  "he was a player in the Mick-versus-Keith feud and was an eyewitness to Keith's midlife crisis and Ron's overindulgences."
