Charles R. Cross, 2005
I'll Meet You in the Next World and Don't Be Late
+ When the Power of Love overcomes the love of power....
+ Groovy
This is an entertaining biography. I have been a Jimi Hendrix fan since I was 14 and it was his guitar playing that made me want to go out and buy a guitar and learn how to play at that same age.

Mick Jagger: The Unauthorized Biography (Rolling Stones) 1 review
Alan Clayson
Sanctuary Publishing, Ltd., 2005
Another Mick Jagger bio
Alex Clayson wrote another biography in which he never talked to Mick Jagger or any one of the actual Rolling Stones. Its mostly a book about the times and situations surrounding the Stones and no new or in depth study of the life in question. My feeling is the author is in love with his own ...
