About Ethan Russell Keith Richards said, (His) was no ordinary eye, and I found out no ordinary mind behind it...A quiet thoughtful man with a blinding vision. Enjoy his work. I do. The true story of a young American who in 1967 traveled to England, knowing no one, and became the photographer for The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, and later the Eagles and many others. With over 250 photographs (including never before seen pictures of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Doors, and others) An American Story takes the reader from San Francisco, to London, and back...on tour with the Rolling Stones, on the roof with the Beatles for their last concert, and directing music videos with Paul Simon, Rickie Lee Jones, kd lang, and John Lennon. Yet, American Story is more than that: at over 90,000 words, it is his personal journey wrapped in a shared-interactive history of the last half of the 20th century, a personal inquiry into America then and now.

Preamble

I n the autumn of 2002 I was walking down a leafy Georgetown street with the English photographer Gered Mankowitz whose early album covers of The Rolling Stones were the kind of game-changing, iconic images that astonished me when I was a college student in sunny California in 1964. The sullen long-haired images of Brian Jones, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts were an assault on American youth that was still cast in the mold of Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello (and came at a time when musical idols were not groups but solo acts, of which the king was Elvis who -- for those who dont know or may need reminding -- had gone into the Army in 1958). It was a different world.

Gered was and is a polite, lovely Englishman now living with his wife on the Cornwall coast, in a wistful image reminiscent of The Beatles When Im 64 . In 2002 we were both participating in a group exhibition on The Rolling Stones. In the decades between college and this walk I had become a photographer too, and often for the Rolling Stones. As we meandered, Gered matter-of-factly mentioned to me that I was the only photographer to have shot album covers for The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Who.

Shooting the Stones

That this was true--and that somehow I hadnt put it together myself -- came as a shock to me. But it was that unlikely. Even knowing it to be the case it was still hard to imagine. But how could anyone have imagined it? You couldnt have planned it, willed it, or schemed it. Even to have dreamed it would have been borderline absurd. I was a boy from California. I didnt know anyone in England. At the time I rst took pictures of Mick Jagger I wasnt really even a photographer. Yet, by the time I was walking down the street with Gered, I had shot the Let It Be cover for the Beatles, been on the roof with them for their last performance, at Altamont with The Rolling Stones , taken the cover for Whos Next and directed the last video with John Lennon the week before he was murdered.

An impossible journey and a great (but by no means always bubbly) ride.

But any life is more than its highlights and so is this book. Since--when I was in college--I couldnt possibly know the life I would have, I was trying to imagine a life I might have. It was entirely unclear in its outlines but inevitably inuenced by the soil from which I had sprung: the American forties and the fties, and the air that I was then breathing, which was, in 1964, lled with music.

In that music, as you will read, was all the promise and direction a young man might have wished. What happened in those years--and in the years that followed--is the story of this book. It is an exploration wrapped in a memoir wrapped in a history . The history is the history of the Baby Boomers: a history I believe that has been so badly mangled--especially in mass media --that it needs correction.

Shooting the Beatles

I n American Story this plays out over the course of one long narrative, which is presented in two parts. One, An American Lad, covers (roughly) 1947-1982 and two, Watching the River Flow, from 1983 to the present. Part One is more event-driven and Part Two more reective, but both parts include elements of the other.
