Thanks for these beautiful memories of Stanley Booth, as well as the great forward to his Rolling Stones book. I was lucky enough to get to know him a little bit after I interviewed him for a documentary. Just as you wrote, he could be "Fall down funny" and "serious as a tombstone," sometimes with only seconds to separate the two states. I can't believe he lived so long, or that he's gone so soon.

Your intro is so great,perfect for a book that is just as meaningful, powerful, worth reading as you say it is. I happened to reread it a year or so ago and wow!
