Without the aid of my father, these are going to be tough to write without forgetting a lot of people. Apologies in advance but here goes.
Thanks most to Ben Adams. It’s his book; we work for him. Thanks also to Mitch Corbett. This is the payoff for a life misspent in pursuit of all things Rolling Stones.
Thanks also to those who’ve helped us write and shape this book, especially Matt Blankman, Jeremy Rainer, and Chris Wertz.
To Cheryl Ceretti, Professor Victor Coelho, Paul Goldman, Dave Herman, Fred Mullen, and Diane Snow, for sharing your resources.
To Susan Van Metre, who has been a rock through all this.
Nate Knaebel and George Gibson from Bloomsbury have both gone above and beyond in their efforts to help with this book. Frank Scatoni has provided invaluable help and support.
Without the help of Giro DiBiase, Tim Kelly, Ira Korman, Laurie McGaw, and especially Larry Marion, the visuals in this book wouldn’t be nearly as cool. Thanks also to our friends Ron and Howard Mandelbaum of Photofest.
Jon Wilde and Harvey Kubernik were both gracious in allowing us to “borrow” their work.
To Kevin Goldman, for being a friend.
To Paul Simpson, ever a clutch performer.
