Sam Cutler Releases Book, iPhone App About Rolling Stones, Grateful Dead
Reuters reports that Sam Cutler, a former road manager for both the Rolling Stones and Grateful Dead, is the first to release a book and iPhone app simultaneously. The book, called You Can't Always Get What You Want, covers Cutler's encounters with both bands. The iPhone app includes the text from the book and exclusive photos.
Cutler holds a special place in Stones history as the mustachioed roadie in the related concert documentary "Gimme Shelter" who coolly pleads with fans to climb off the scaffolding or get off the stage at the California speedway. His is also the voice heard introducing the band at the start of their 1970 live album "Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out."
His book recounts his life-threatening encounters with the Hells Angels in the aftermath of Altamont, as well as his subsequent duties with the Grateful Dead.
The book is available for a discount here on Amazon.com. The iTunes app can be found here.
