Bill German’s “Under Their Thumb”

Meet the Rolling Stones’ biggest fan, Bill German, as he discusses his memoir, “Under Their Thumb: How a Nice Boy from Brooklyn Got Mixed Up with The Rolling Stones,” at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 23. As a teenager, German created one of the very first “zines,” the Stones-only newsletter “Beggars Banquet.” Impressed with German’s passion for their music, the Stones invited him on the road and into their personal lives, giving him the opportunity, for 17 years, to experience first-hand the extraordinary career of one of the world’s most influential rock bands.
