About this product

Product Information

A delicious romp through the heyday of rock and roll and a revealing portrait of the man at the helm of the iconic magazine that made it all possible, with candid look backs at the era from Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Elton John, Bono, Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, and others. The story of Jann Wenner, Rolling Stone 's founder, editor, and publisher, and the pioneering era he helped curate, is told here for the first time in glittering, glorious detail. Joe Hagan provides readers with a backstage pass to storied concert venues and rock-star hotel rooms; he tells never before heard stories about the lives of rock stars and their handlers; he details the daring journalism (Tom Wolfe, Hunter S. Thompson, P.J. O'Rourke) and internecine office politics that accompanied the start-up; he animates the drug and sexual appetites of the era; and he reports on the politics of the last fifty years that were often chronicled in the pages of Rolling Stone magazine. Supplemented by a cache of extraordinary documents and letters from Wenner's personal archives, Sticky Fingers depicts an ambitious, mercurial, wide-eyed rock and roll fan of who exalts in youth and beauty and learns how to package it, marketing late sixties counterculture as a testament to the power of American youth. The result is a fascinating and complex portrait of man and era, and an irresistible biography of popular culture, celebrity, music, and politics in America.

Reviews
"Hagan creates a moving portrayal of a complicated, brilliant, flawed man who genuinely moved the needle on American culture... An engaging biography and a lasting legacy for the keeper of rock-'n'-roll's watchtower." --Kirkus Reviews, "Hagan has delivered a supple, confident, dispassionately reported and deeply well-written biography... Come for the essayist in Hagan, stay for the eye-popping details and artful gossip... It's a joy to read and feels built to last." -- Dwight Garner, The New York Times "Gripping" --The New Yorker "Explosive...the book's dishy back story is already media legend...jaw-dropping...wildly entertaining...delicious and meticulous." --USA Today "Hagan, to his credit, approached the book not as a rose-tinted 'authorized biography' but as a serious work of narrative journalism....He also, through his nuanced portrait of Wenner, shows us how thoroughly the publication reflected its founder, warts and all." --The Washington Post "Hagan creates a moving portrayal of a complicated, brilliant, flawed man who genuinely moved the needle on American culture... An engaging biography and a lasting legacy for the keeper of rock-'n'-roll's watchtower." --Kirkus Reviews "[A] searingly honest biography... Hagan has provided an entertaining insider's history of a legendary magazine." --Publishers Weekly "Hagan has fashioned a fascinating biography of acontroversial figure and the iconic publication he started." --Booklist (starred review)
