CHICAGO (WGN-TV) — In 1978, Bill German turned 16-years-old, and like many kids his age was a major Rolling Stones fan.
He didn’t want to be a rock star, or simply go to their concerts. German wanted to chronicle their careers, and make a living doing so.

In this piece from NewsNation affiliate WGN-TV, Larry Potash tells us how Bill German’s excellent adventure played out.
