Were the Rolling Stones ever really this young?

It's hard to imagine those grizzled rock gods The Stones as having once been young, loud and snotty, but here's the proof in 175 oversized, black-and-white pages from the collection of the band's premier photographer Michael Cooper (in 1967, Cooper also guided the creation of the cover for "Their Satanic Majesties' Request"). The book is laced with witty and acerbic comments from the usual suspects: Keith, number one fan Terry Southern, Anita Pallenberg, and Marianne Faithfull all have wonderfully catty things to say (sometimes about each other ...) and there are some beautiful, ghostly images of Gram Parsons with the band at Joshua Tree, looking for UFOs. Really. Cooper documented the Stones at a time when their bad-boy image could be enhanced by a single shot of Keith and Brian flipping off a picture of Richard Nixon, which says more about the "generation gap" than a thousand words ever can. This needs to be re-printed. (Another great photo book, Annie Liebovitz's 1978 "The Rolling Stones On Tour" is expected in a deluxe edition to be published this year.) Pick this up while you can. Turns out the old gods had time on their side, after all.
