In this entertaining look at the world of tribute bands, New York Times reporter Steven Kurutz recounts the ups and downs of Sticky Fingers, “the leading international Rolling Stones tribute show.” Readers will follow the band from college frat houses, to Las Vegas stages, to European arenas; all while they shadow the real Rolling Stones on tour. Along the way we meet rival Stones tribute the Blushing Brides, learn about the first tribute band, Beatlemania, and witness the ego-distorting effects of portraying a rock star (known as “tributitus”). Like a Rolling Stone is a funny, affectionate portrait of life at the lower altitudes of the music industry.
