Amazon Kindle Singles is now distributing a brand new Franklin Street Press e-book, The Rolling Stones Discover America, Michael Lydon’s intimate report on the epic Rolling Stones’ tour across America at the end of the 1960s, a tour that came to a bloody climax at the free concert at Altamont Raceway.
Lydon spent the month of November ’69 embedded on the tour, flying from LA to Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Boston, and a dozen other cities, hanging out backstage, listening on stage behind the speakers, smoking pot with the Stones in late night bull sessions. “It was the high point of my rock ‘n’ roll reporting career,” says Lydon, “one hell of a wild ride. I’m glad I never lost my notebook, kept my feet semi on the ground, and got my piece written.”
The Rolling Stones Discover America first appeared in Ramparts magazine, Lydon’s first book, Rock Folk, then was reprinted in Flashbacks, and now is off to a fast start at a Kindle single, priced attractively at $1.99.
To find The Rolling Stones Discover America go to Amazon Kindle Singles, then type in Michael Lydon and/or The Rolling Stones Discover America.
