“The Stones Zone” will celebrate not just the Rolling
Stones’ music, but their history, their influences, their
notoriety, and their 40 years of survival.
All
brought to you by someone who actually got to know the band
personally and spent nearly twenty years in close personal contact
with them.
Bill German (host and writer) will bring the same humor
and irreverence to “The Stones Zone” that he did
to his Beggars Banquet newsletter for seventeen years and to
his numerous radio appearances on stations like WNEW, WXRK,
and KLOS.
Each program will pack a “wow factor.”
The listener will learn something they never knew before and
will feel like they’ve missed something if they’re
not tuned in each week.
Here’s a rough sketch of what each episode will
feature:
• Updates from the Stones’ 2002-2003 world
tour.
• “Stones Unearthed” – At least
one rare track you can’t find and won’t hear anywhere
else.
• “This Date In Stones History” --
Forty years of music, drug busts, and paternity suits to draw
from.
• Interviews – Guests may include the Stones
themselves or some of their famous cohorts.
• Stones Covers – Anyone from Tom Jones
to the Ramones. Otis to Devo. Taking on the Stones.
• Personal and behind-the-scenes anecdotes about
the Stones and the making of their music.
• And much, much more. Every song that’s
played will be featured for a purpose. A story attached to it,
told irreverently by someone who was an eyewitness – and
earwitness – for half of the Stones’ existence.
Bill German has traveled with the Rolling Stones, interviewed
them countless times, stayed at their houses, witnessed their
recording sessions and nightclub gigs, and has even written
a book with one of them.
