Bob Spitz and Graham Nash in Conversation with David Fricke: The Rolling Stones

Join acclaimed rock journalist Bob Spitz for a conversation with Graham Nash about Spitz’s groundbreaking new reckoning with the world’s greatest rock ‘n’ roll band — named a “Most Anticipated Book of 2026” by The New York Times.

Bob Spitz has brought indefatigable energy and five decades in the hollows of rock ‘n’ roll to bear on a brilliant reexamination of one of popular music’s greatest stories. And even after all that has been shown, said and written about the Rolling Stones, Spitz’s account is utterly riveting. At its heart is a childhood friendship between two boys, Mick and Keith, and their unique, fraught, alchemical bond. Some of their bandmates, like Charlie Watts, found their groove in relation to this double star and made the trip intact, while others, like Brian Jones and Mick Taylor, were chewed up and spit out. Did Jagger and Richards sell their souls to the devil is at the crossroads for rock ‘n’ roll greatness? How have they endured for over 60 years?

In a conversation with Graham Nash — who witnessed the Stones’ antics up close on his own rock ‘n’ roll journey — hear Spitz tell the behind-the-scenes, backstage story of one of the most brilliant, controversial, magnetic bands of all time.
