Victor Coelho, one of the editors of the new book who is also a professor of music at Boston University, says the book takes a broad look at the role of The Stones in music history. There are shelves of books about the band, but a new book, " The Cambridge Companion to the Rolling Stones," takes an academic look at their music and their legacy. The Rolling Stones are still touring more than 50 years after the band got together in England in the 1960s. (Len Trievnor/Express/Getty Images) This article is more than 2 years old.
