A gritty, one-of-a-kind backstage account of the world's greatest touring band, from the opinionated music journalist who was along for the ride as a young reporter for Rolling Stone in the 1990s ONE OF THE TOP FIVE ROCK BIOGRAPHIES OF THE YEAR--SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLEONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR--KIRKUS REVIEWS A book inspired by a lifelong appreciation of the music that borders on obsession, Rich Cohen's fresh and galvanizing narrative history of the Rolling Stones begins with the fateful meeting of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards on a train platform in 1961--and goes on to span decades, with a focus on the golden run--from the albums Beggars Banquet (1968) to Exile on Main Street (1972)--when the Stones were at the height of their powers. Cohen is equally as good on the low points as the highs, and he puts his finger on the moments that not only defined the Stones as gifted musicians schooled in the blues, but as the avatars of so much in our modern culture. In the end, though, after the drugs and the girlfriends and the bitter disputes, there is the music--which will define, once and forever, why the Stones will always matter. Praise for The Sun & The Moon & The Rolling Stones "Fabulous . . . The research is meticulous. . . . Cohen's own interviews even yield some new Stones lore."--The Wall Street Journal " Cohen] can catch the way a record can seem to remake the world and] how songs make a world you can't escape."--Pitchfork "No one can tell this story, wringing new life even from the leathery faces of mummies like the Rolling Stones, like Rich Cohen. . . . The book beautifully details the very meaning of rock 'n' roll."--New York Observer "Masterful . . . Hundreds of books have been written about this particular band and Cohen's] will rank among the very best of the bunch."--Chicago Tribune "Cohen, who has shown time and time again he can take any history lesson and make it personal and interesting . . . somehow tells the Stones'] story in a whole different way. This might be the best music book of 2016."--Men's Journal " Cohen's] account of the band's rise from 'footloose' kids to 'old, clean, prosperous' stars is, like the Stones, irresistible."--People "You will, as with the best music bios, want to follow along on vinyl."--The Washington Post "A fresh take on dusty topics like Altamont and the Stones' relationship with the Beatles . . . Cohen takes pilgrimages to places like Nellc te, the French mansion where the Stones made Exile on Main Street, and recounts fascinating moments from his time on tour."--Rolling Stone "On the short list of worthwhile books about the Stones . . . The book is stuffed with insights."--San Francisco Chronicle

Exactly what I wanted,
Size: Large, Color: Light Khaki
I bought three pairs of shorts from three different companies and these are my favorite. I am going to by another pair in a different color.

Comfortable Water‑Repellent Summer Shorts That Still Look Casual and Neat
Size: XX-Large, Color: Dark Grey
I find these TACVASEN 7 Inch Casual Twill Shorts very comfortable to wear for warm weather. The polyester twill fabric feels light against the skin and does not trap heat, which makes them a good option for summer days or humid climates. The material also behaves like a water‑repellent, quick‑dry fabric, so light splashes or a bit of sweat do not linger long, and the shorts dry fairly fast instead of staying damp.
The overall look is more refined than basic athletic shorts, which I appreciate. The 7‑inch inseam, flat front style, and elastic waistband with drawstring give them a casual, everyday look that can still pass for more polished casual wear if you pair them with a polo or a clean t‑shirt. They do not look sloppy, so they work for running errands, casual outings, or relaxed social situations, not just for the beach or lounging.
In terms of construction, the stitching on my pair is nicely done, with no loose threads or obvious defects on the seams or hems. The shorts include two slant pockets and one back pocket, and one of the front pockets has a hidden zipper pocket inside, which is handy for keeping small items like cards or coins more secure without changing the outside look of the shorts. The elastic waistband and drawstring make it easy to dial in the fit without feeling tight.
Based on my experience, these shorts would be suitable for a variety of uses such as casual walks, light outdoor activities, beach days, or as comfortable everyday summer shorts that still look presentable enough for casual gatherings. If you want something breathable, quick drying, and a bit more polished than pure gym shorts, these are a solid option.
I received this item for free through the Amazon Vine program and I personally evaluate what I receive. I also pay taxes, Social Security and Medicare so I do not treat this as mindless ordering of products I will not use or fully test.

Perfect Summer Shorts for Everyday Wear
Size: Large, Color: Dark Grey
These turned out to be one of those purchases that will become part of the regular summer rotation. The fit is excellent, the fabric feels lightweight without feeling cheap, and they’re extremely comfortable in warm weather.
What I like most is that they strike a really nice balance between casual and polished. They don’t look like gym shorts, but they’re just as comfortable. The dark grey color looks clean and versatile, and the 7-inch length feels modern without being overly short.
The fabric has a smooth, cool feel and dries quickly, which is great for hot days or even light water exposure. The elastic waistband and drawstring are comfortable without looking sloppy, and the hidden zipper pocket is actually very useful for keys or cards.
Another thing I noticed is their durability that they hold their shape well and the material doesn’t wrinkle easily. They work equally well for relaxing, walking around town, travel, or casual dinners outside during summer.
Overall, these feel more expensive than they are. Comfortable, lightweight material, practical, and surprisingly stylish.

These shorts are nicely constructed and durable with no visible signs of defects out of the package.

There are two average sized pockets one on each side and one zippered side pocket for added security and a rear pocket suitable for a normal sized wallet. I'm a 5'10" man and these shorts reach to the top of my knee. These shorts also have an average sized drawstring for added tightness if desired. The polyester material allows for fast drying. Overall these shorts offer a good value for wearing to most occasions.

Great casual shorts
Size: Small, Color: Blue Gray
These men’s water-resistant beach shorts have been a great purchase. I got them for my son, and he says they’re extremely comfortable. He especially loves how soft the material feels, which makes them easy to wear all day at the beach, pool, or just casually around town.
The water-resistant fabric works well and dries quickly, which is a huge plus for swimwear. They fit nicely and allow for plenty of movement without feeling stiff or heavy. Overall, these are comfortable, well-made shorts with great material, and my son has been really happy with them.
