Thompson, P.J. O'Rourke) and internecine office politics that accompanied the start-up; he animates the drug and sexual appetites of the era; and he reports on the politics of the last fifty years that were often chronicled in the pages of Rolling Stone magazine.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Supplemented by a cache of extraordinary documents and letters from Wenner's personal archives, \u003ci\u003eSticky Fingers\u003c\/i\u003e depicts an ambitious, mercurial, wide-eyed rock and roll fan of who exalts in youth and beauty and learns how to package it, marketing late sixties counterculture as a testament to the power of American youth. The result is a fascinating and complex portrait of man and era, and an irresistible biography of popular culture, celebrity, music, and politics in America.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49537430946065,"sku":"GOR011752601","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50327066247441,"sku":"CIN1101872780G","price":4.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51841854308625,"sku":"GOR011323768","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53703505248529,"sku":"CIN1101872780VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1101872780.jpg?v=1751111496","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/sticky-fingers-book-joe-hagan-9781101872789","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
