New, and old, Rolling Stones documentaries out this fall
Celebrating the band's 50th year, two Rolling Stones films are on the way. A new documentary, "Crossfire Hurricane" is slated for October/November theatrical release and follows the band from its early days through the present.
"Charlie is My Darling," meanwhile is a tour/concert film shot in 1965 and spottily released in theaters the following year. The film was released on DVD a few years back, but a spruced up version is now set for release everywhere on DVD and BluRay in November. A "super deluxe" version reportedly will include a soundtrack on CD and LP. Stay tuned for more details.

Bonis accompanied the Fabs on all three of their U.S. tours, snapping away, and many of the images haven't been published until now. There also a collection of Rolling Stones photos

Keith Richards talks about his memoirs
Listen on NPR's "Fresh Air."
"You think, in a 50-year relationship doing this stuff, that there's not going to be some conflict, some disagreements? Of course there's going to be," Richards says. "...[Jagger] got used to holding the reins, and that was a bit of a shock to me at the time. But I got to live with it. And anyway, actually, what happened is we ended up sharing the reins again. But at the time, yeah, that did shock me, or disappointed me. Shock, I'm beyond."
