Brian certainly was the driving force in the early days. But as things changed during the 60s he couldn’t keep up. He and The Glimmer Twins were going in different directions.

Jones' drug arrests prevented him from acquiring a visa to tour the United States. And the U.S. was where true fame and fortune awaited the Stones.

They had to cut him loose.

True dat.

Brian was one of the founders along with Ian Stewart on piano. Brian never wanted the band to leave the blues roots.

Andrew Oldham issued the challenge to Mick and Keith to write and I THINK The Last Time is what they came up with.

I always found it kid of sad that he was so uninvolved in Beggar’s Banquet because it really did mark a return to bare knuckle music.

Those Jimmy Miller produces records are really something.
