Review title: A major disappointment
Product review: This is a dull book. It's written in a hip, quickspeak, that is too oblique to grab you. It's like reading Derek Taylor's memoir of his time with the Beatles, where he tries so hard to sound hip-literary, he completely buries what he's writing about. Oldham was intimate with the Stones. He's a witty guy in interviews. This is a fat book, but very little in it that's intereting. After I bought it, I read it once, skimming a lot of it, and donated it to the library. It does obliquely confirm that he and Jagger had a gay affair. In the bio JAGGER UNAUTHORIZED, that author makes the claim that Oldham and Jagger slept together. In Stoned, Oldham says, "Me and Mick got as close as two men can possibly get," which to me confirmed the rumor. And Oldham set Keith up with his girl friend, as Oldham thought, "Keith should go out with something other than his guitar." That's about all of interest about the Stones in this book. It's as disappointig as Peter O'Toole's memoirs.
