Laura Jackson didn't fabricate these stories,she interviewed the people who were most associated with the Stones .Although Ian Stewart was deeply involved with The Stones all along,the Stones were actually Brian's baby hence the billing in the early days of Brian Jones and his Rollin' Stones" Ian was a very close friend of Brian's and had played with him in previous groups so Brian,already being fully aware of Ians considerable music ability,asked Ian to join his group before he considered anyone else and hired out the audition space.

As I noted in my first post Laura Jackson wrote about incidents and happenings that I already heard or read from other sources,her book was the first time that the whole story was written in one concise work.As for the Hyde Park incident,many people close to Brian and the Stones as a whole were disgusted with the whole thing and deemed it as beinga cynical publicity stunt that was staged just to make them look like they were truly heart broken.On the day he died they spent the whole day in the studio working on their new album and carried on as if nothing had happened.Noel Redding later stated in an interview that he had been disgusted with the whole maudlin charade and had run into Denny Laine there who was equally disgusted where upon they both left and sat in a quiet pub and sat and talked about Brian.Phil May of the Pretty Things said that..."If Jagger had confronted reality and said,'Well,we fought like bastards,but we'll still miss him'more people in the know might have respected him,instead of expecting to swallow the bollocks he came out withHowever to some small extent it celebrated Brian."
Noel Redding also added"For me it was over....There ain't no Rolling Stones without Brian Jones."He also said that there was a complete lack of respec at thet after concert get together which added to not only his disgust but to that of others too.Pat Andrews,the mother of Brians first child stated her disgust with the so-called tribute to Brian knowing that it was just a PR exercise on their part and she too confirmed that many others close to Brian shared her feelings also.

As you said,you can't believe everything that you read-and I don't,and I'm quite frankly very doubtful of much that I read but this book merely echoes much that I have read from very credible first-hand report in the past and carries actual quotes and interviews from many of the people who were close to Brian and the Stones.The fact that in the intervening years nobody has come forward to dispute or discount anything that Ms. Jackson has written adds further creedence to my contention that she has written a well researched and factual account on the incidents she has written about.Cheers.

BTW:There isn't and never was an Good Old Boys club here as you so incorrectly surmised,a lot of us have been here long enough to have learned to respect the views of others no matter how much we may disagree with them,long term members adhering to the rules of proper decorum hardly constitutes being an "Old Boys Club".No matter what you may think it is still not proper to refer to someone elses views as silly etc. because that's actually a put down of the person moreso than their views.If you think that merely quoting what someone has written after gathering it from truthful and reliable resources as silly then you are sorely mistaken.Some of you know it all new comers crack me up.


Okay. You're going to believe what you read and what your sources you have say.
I applaud you for standing up to your beliefs.
Power to you brother.

I don't think you're silly at all.
I just think that the claim that Brain Jones was murdered is silly.
That's all.

I just don't buy it.

Peace,
Mike
