Według legendy, Jagger i Richards spotkali się na peronie w Dartford, czekając na pociąg do Londynu. Jagger miał płyty, a Richards gitarę, co zapoczątkowało jeden z najważniejszych zespołów w historii rocka. Choć mit jest piękny, prawdziwa historia jest jeszcze ciekawsza. Rich Cohen opisuje dekady działalności grupy, koncentrując się na ich pierwszych koncertach oraz złotym okresie, kiedy nagrali kluczowe albumy, od "Beggars Banquet" do "Exile on Main Street". W latach 90. Cohen towarzyszył zespołowi w trasie, co pozwoliło mu nawiązać bliskie relacje z muzykami. Efektem tych rozmów jest panoramiczna biografia, napisana żywym stylem i z pasją. Autor nie boi się wyrażać swoich opinii na temat wydarzeń, co sprawia, że książka staje się nie tylko opowieścią o seksie, dragach i rock and rollu, ale także o miłości, ambicji, przyjaźni i satysfakcji. To świeże spojrzenie na wyjątkowy zespół, które odpowiada na pytanie o ich długowieczność. Cohen doskonale uchwycił istotę rock and rolla, a jego teksty rzucają nowe światło na Stonesów, czyniąc tę książkę jedną z najlepszych wśród licznych publikacji na ich temat.

Mladý novinář Rich Cohen dostal v 25 letech zakázku snů. Časopis Rolling Stone ho poslal do Toronta, aby se tam seznámil s kapelou Rolling Stones a napsal o ní reportáž. Tak začalo Cohenovo dobrodružství, během nějž se seznámil a posléze spřátelil se všemi fascinujícími členy kapely: s Mickem Jaggerem, Keithem Richardsem, Ronem Woodem a Charliem Wattsem. Během 15letého přátelství strávil s kapelou spoustu času, napsal o ní řadu reportáží, stal se jakýmsi neoficiálním členem týmu a měl přístup na místa, která byla lidem zvenku zapovězena. Cohenova kniha zachycuje dění uvnitř Rolling Stones, jejich vývoj a všechny zásadní události… zároveň je to však životní příběh samotného Cohena – příběh o mladém fanouškovi, kterému se shodou životních náhod stalo, že nakonec mezi svými hrdiny žil a pracoval. Originální pohled do zákulisí Rolling Stones!

Rich Cohens Buch erzählt die bittersüße Geschichte einer jüdischen Familie aus Brooklyn, geprägt von Fehden und exzentrischen Figuren wie der neurotischen Witwe Betty und dem überforderten Onkel Marvin. Eine schwarze Komödie über den amerikanischen Traum, die Fans der »Royal Tenenbaums« begeistern wird.

"Sweet and Low" is the amazing, bittersweet, hilarious story of an American family and its patriarch, a short-order cook named Ben Eisenstadt who, in the years after World War II, invented the sugar packet and Sweet'N Low, converting his Brooklyn cafeteria into a factory and amassing the great fortune that would destroy his family. It is also the story of immigrants to the New World, sugar, saccharine, obesity, and the health and diet craze, played out across countries and generations but also within the life of a single family, as the fortune and the factory passed from generation to generation. The author, Rich Cohen, a grandson (disinherited, and thus set free, along with his mother and siblings), has sought the truth of this rancorous, colorful history, mining thousands of pages of court documents accumulated in the long and sometimes corrupt life of the factor, and conducting interviews with members of his extended family. Along the way, the forty-year family battle over the fortune moves into its titanic phase, with the money and legacy up for grabs. "Sweet and Low "is the story of this struggle, a strange comic farce of machinations and double dealings, and of an extraordinary family and its fight for the American dream.

"Brilliant; the best book I have ever read about the recording industry; a classic."--Larry King On the south side of Chicago in the late 1940s, two immigrants; one a Jew born in Russia, the other a black blues singer from Mississippi; met and changed the course of musical history. Muddy Waters electrified the blues, and Leonard Chess recorded it. Soon Bo Diddly and Chuck Berry added a dose of pulsating rhythm, and Chess Records captured that, too. Rock & Roll had arrived, and an industry was born. In a book as vibrantly and exuberantly written as the music and people it portrays, Rich Cohen tells the engrossing story of how Leonard Chess, with the other record men, made this new sound into a multi-billion-dollar business; aggressively acquiring artists, hard-selling distributors, riding the crest of a wave that would crash over a whole generation.
