The Rolling Stones: Fire and Fury in Frankfurt
Jonh Ingham, Sounds, 8 May 1976
FORTY POUNDS for one night in a hotel. It makes you wonder. Forty Pounds would keep me and the missus for a week or more, cover a few debts, buy a few of the more expensive tastes in my life. But 40 quid for a hotel room? It's a hard life, being a revolutionary, anti-capitalistic band in 1976.
