Summary

Mick Jagger fooled around with Keith Richards' girlfriend. I wouldn't be able to work with someone after that. But maybe that's why I'm author. And not a rockstar. The Rolling Stones became a new band every 5-7 years. They were "perpetual amateurs." That's one of the keys to staying alive as an artist. Or as an entrepreneur. Or staying alive at all... "Remain the same but different." And be "open to influence," Rich Cohen said. He wrote "The Sun & The Moon & The Rolling Stones," an incredible book about the greatest rock 'n' roll band of all time, fate, creation, sex, influence and the art of reinventing yourself. It was "the gig of a century:" touring with The Rolling Stones the summer of '94. Then Rich worked with Mick Jagger on the HBO series "Vinyl." But this story isn't just about The Rolling Stones. It's about creation, corruption and reinvention. And the 9 ways you can reinvent yourself today. Listen now to hear half a dozen more stories about rock 'n' roll, fate, influence and inspiration. ------------What do YOU think of the show?

0:15.6	How does an artist reinvent what should they do?
0:19.2	It's a bit mysterious and I think probably one good way to keep reinventing yourself
0:23.9	is not to be too successful actually.
0:26.6	So to feel like you're chasing something all the time that you almost can get but just can't quite get.
0:31.6	And then also it's what goes on inside a person but I think it's trying to remain open

1:19.6	But he understands The Rolling Stones answer which is because of the longevity.
1:24.6	And I think The Rolling Stones has some songs that are just like so unbelievably good at beats all The Beatles songs.
