'Like a Rolling Stone' Book
In 2008, author Steven Kurutz released his book “Like a Rolling Stone: The Strange Life of a Tribute Band.” It features Glen Carroll on the cover and observes the world of Sticky Fingers while they repeated the path of The Rolling Stones 2005-2006 tour, playing at different places.

Steven Kurutz defines Sticky Fingers as a tribute band because these musicians not only strives to sound but also look like The Rolling Stones. As Kurutz says, such tribute bands "dedicate themselves to one particular group and try to emulate them".

Television
In January, 2013 the Sticky Fingers were invited as guest judges on WCBS-FM's "Jukebox Jury: Should There Be A Rock & Roll Retirement Age?" discussing iconic rock bands like The Rolling Stones and The Beach Boys, which are still not only making influence on the modern rock scene but recording new music.
