The Rolling Stones Rock Files: Truth and Lies

The Rolling Stones are the greatest rock & Roll band in the world. In an ongoing career stretching back to 1962 when they took London's Marquee Club by storm, they have produced scores of hits, played hundreds of stadiums worldwide, and spawned an army of fans, imitators, and detractors. They have inspired wild yells from musical millions and gasps of horror from the establishment. In this lively program, we hear from their contemporaries, fans, and critics about the songs, the scandals, the crises, and the excesses, and we see the news footage and interviews that helped make them who they are. After over 40 years, 24 albums, and 437 songs they are still both the most famous and most infamous band of all. This documentary covers the period from the formation of the band in 1961 to the start of the Forty Licks tour in 2002.
