The Rolling Stones and the Sixties: Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'n' Roll

Across two episodes, this arc traces how the Rolling Stones emerged from postwar Britain to become symbols of 1960s counterculture, driven by sex, rebellion, and a relentless appetite for audacious rock. From their controversial early days to the perilous peak of fame—the Altamont tragedy and the era’s legal pressures—the series examines how the band both shaped and reflected a decade of upheaval and social change.
