The Rolling Stones and Soundgarden are two of the most influential bands in the history of rock – and two new books tell their stories.
The Rolling Stones by Bob Spitz is a history of the band, but also of drugs, women and feuds. In today’s episode, the author gives
Here & Now’s Indira Lakshmanan a behind-the-scenes look at songs like “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” and “Gimme Shelter.” Then, Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil joins
Morning Edition’s A Martínez for a conversation about
A Screaming Life, which tells the story of the band from its roots in Seattle’s grunge scene.
