Happy Birthday, Brian -- Linda, 08:06:05 02/27/14 Thu(75-121-23-118.dyn.centurytel.net/75.121.23.118)
Golden Stone
From the grave you are calling
“Remember me”.
Through autumn leaves falling,
Your face I see.
The breeze is your voice sighing
“Think of me”.
The rain is my heart crying
Woefully.
My decades of forgetting
Admonish me.
You chide me for regretting,
“Attend to me”.
T’was long a go I lost you.
You haunt me still.
Through the stone set above you,
You touch my will.
Though death somehow binds you
Beneath the dark earth,
In deep sleep I find you.
Gold is your worth.
Trevor Hobley and Linda Lawrence, The Dream Team -- Lazlo (What investigation?), 15:21:19 02/03/14 Mon(adsl-76-248-145-94.dsl.wlfrct.sbcglobal.net/76.248.145.94)
Well, well, well. It seems that the reclusive (except to his most loyal followers and donors) Trevor Hobley has popped his head up in a new book by author Howard Sounes titled: 27: A History of the 27 Club through the Lives of Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix ...
Here is the link that brings you to the pages mentioning everyone's favorite fan club "spokesman"
According to this book, it would seem that Linda Lawrence is now a member of his team. I wonder if Trevor, Linda, and Pat Andrews get together to mull over the dossier into the wee hours of the morning?
One thing I've noticed over the last 4+ years is, the word "investigation" is now taboo in in the fan club circle. The new operative word is "research", as if there never was an investigation at all. He wasn't investigating, he was researching. As a matter of fact, on the fan club web page, the 'Investigation' button where you could click on and be taken to a link with news and updates from what was then called, the "investigation" has been disabled for the last couple years.
I have more opinions on this whole "research" crap, but I'll put the coal rake down for now.
Anna Wohlin article from July 2013 -- Lazlo, 18:48:00 11/11/13 Mon(adsl-76-248-147-80.dsl.wlfrct.sbcglobal.net/76.248.147.80)
Hard to believe she is still peddling this shit, but not surprising. Nothing's changed. The phony "Frank deathbed confession" concocted by Tom Keylock is even cited in this article as confirmation to Anna's version of events on July 2, 1969. No one believes this horseshit.
Hey Anna Wohlin, unless you are going to tell us what really happened that night, just go away and STFU.
From this past summer:
Rolling Stones Brian Jones' lover Anna Wohlin claims he was killed in scuffle with minder
6 Jul 2013 00:01
Two days before the 1969 gig she’d dragged his lifeless body from the swimming pool of Sussex farmhouse and tried in vain to revive him.
Anna Wohlin should have had a VIP pass the last time The Rolling Stones played London’s Hyde Park.
The pretty young Swedish dancer was meant to be backstage in 1969 watching the band introduce their new guitarist – the replacement for founder member Brian Jones who’d been sacked a month before.
Anna never made it to that iconic gig, but unlike thousands of veteran fans she has no desire to be in the park tonight as the legendary rockers return, 44 years later.
For Anna was Brian Jones’ lover…and two days before the gig she’d dragged his lifeless body from the swimming pool of his Sussex farmhouse and tried in vain to revive him.
Yet, before the tragedy on July 3, 1969, she and Brian had planned to go to the Hyde Park concert together – so he could publicly show he had no hard feelings about leaving the Rolling Stones.
“Instead of being backstage with Brian I was in a hotel room nearby,” reveals Anna, now 66.
“I was broken…in total shock. Fans were gathering with candles and I wanted to go and say goodbye to Brian.
“But I was in no fit state. I didn’t realise then but I was a nuisance – a problem to the Stones management. They knew I knew what really happened on the night Brian died.”
The events following Brian’s death have gone down in the annals of pop history, with Anna’s role reduced to a mere footnote.
Rock legend has it Brian, 27, drowned under the influence of drugs and booze, after going off the rails when the Stones fired him.
Conspiracy theorists insist he was murdered – and police reviewed the case as recently as 2010 but did not reopen inquiries.
But in an exclusive interview with the Mirror, Anna has rekindled the riddle of the death and Brian’s rift with the band.
She sensationally claims the musician WAS killed, in a scuffle with disgruntled minder Frank Thorogood, said to have been fired by Jones that day – but the truth was covered up to protect the band’s image.
Her account is supported by Thorogood’s alleged death bed confession 20 years ago.
Anna says: “Brian is still portrayed as a bitter, worn-out and depressed man who was fired because of his drug habit…and who died because he was drunk or high.
“But my Brian was a wonderful, charismatic man who was happier than ever, had given up drugs and was looking forward to pursuing the musical career he wanted.
“We’d been blissfully happy together for three months and he and I had planned to go to watch the Hyde Park gig.
“Brian wasn’t bitter about Mick Taylor replacing him – he was quite relieved actually. He had wanted to leave the band for some time before they asked him to go.
“He didn’t like the direction the music was taking – he wanted to play blues – and he didn’t want to tour America any more.
“There were no hard feelings when he left though, and if people had seen us at the concert they would have known that.But it wasn’t to be. The night before I stayed at the Londonderry Hotel with Bill Wyman and ?his girlfriend Astrid Lundstrom.
“They thought it was a bad idea for me to go – I couldn’t think straight. I was in shock. Some friends stayed with me but I was torn – I wanted to be there…but with Brian – and he was gone.”
The gig became an iconic pop moment after the Stones turned it into a tribute to Brian.
Jagger, in his famous white dress, read poetry by Shelley before roadies released 2,500 white butterflies.
So was that a comfort to Anna?
She gives a long sigh. “Let’s say I have very mixed feelings. They had to do something, because Brian had died, and, yes, I think they were all in shock.
“But whether they had wanted to do it or not, I don’t know. They just had to.
“Before Brian died, Mick was nervous that Brian’s fans might boycott the concert in protest at his replacement.
“In the end, 500,000 people went. But it was a nice day, the concert was free and the fans went for Brian. So there had to be recognition from the band.”
After Brian died Anna wrote to Mick Jagger, accusing him of not caring enough about Brian’s death. He never replied.
She says she no longer bears any animosity towards him, but admits “It just felt so unfair he was alive and thriving…a reminder he and the other Stones were continuing as if nothing had happened – while Brian was gone forever.”
She says the Stones’ management urged her to return to Sweden a week after Brian’s death.
She left following the inquest which recorded a verdict of misadventure – even though tests found little evidence of drugs and the equivalent of just three and a half pints of beer.
Anna, who now runs a boutique in her home city Stockholm, explains: “I was intimidated into silence about what really happened – under sedation, in shock.”
After returning home she discovered she was expecting Brian’s child – but miscarried and became depressed.
She returned to England two months later to collect her belongings from the farm – only to find it had been cleared out and all her personal belongings and gifts from Brian had disappeared.
She says: “The Stones PR manager had promised to find me somewhere to live if I came back – but when I went to their offices no one would help.
"I felt betrayed so I went to a lawyer and to a journalist and tried to tell the truth about Brian’s death – but no one wanted to know.”
Anna got married, had a daughter and tried to move on. But she says it was only after divorcing three decades later that she finally began to grieve for Brian.
She says: “I decided to write my story, but people still didn’t believe it.
"I don’t know if Frank meant to kill Brian – maybe it was horseplay in the pool that went wrong. But I knew all along he did not die a natural death. I’m still sure of it.
“Now the Stones are back in Hyde Park and everyone is talking about 1969 and that free gig.
Anna pauses, then adds: “Imagine – a free Rolling Stones concert! I wonder what the tickets cost today?”
I tell her they start at £95 but some cost more than £300.
She sighs again.
“Everyone thinks I must be a Stones fan, but I’m not. I’ve never seen them in concert and haven’t paid them much attention over the years – I really don’t care.
“I fell in love with Brian when I was 16 and we got together five years later. He happened to play in that band – that’s all.
“Don’t get me wrong – I like the music and think it is amazing they have kept going so long. But Brian would have carried on making music too…I’m sure. He was the one who was most musical.”
Anna used to have terrible nightmares about finding Brian’s body at the bottom of the pool and screaming for help.
Now, she says, Brian “visits” her in her dreams, and she tries to remember the good times they shared. She says: “We were so happy. When Brian bought the farmhouse he said he wanted to live there the rest of his life. And he did. But it was too short.
“I didn’t visit his grave for a long time – but I’ve been twice now. It’s a beautiful stone with lovely flowers still brought by fans.
“One of the hardest things was that when Brian died he was my boyfriend – but suddenly he belonged to another world and other people – and I couldn’t really cope with that.
“Talking about him helps me reclaim him. My Brian, not the tragic legend.”
As fans gather tonight to watch the Rolling Stones they will remember Brian for his brilliant musicianship – and his former band mates will no doubt recall their tributes of 44 years ago.
“So many years have passed,” said Anna. “I don’t bear the Stones any bad feelings.
"They are icons and great professionals and they will all probably die on stage.
“Brian never got that chance…such a waste of a life. He died too young.”
The Ramrods -- Bernard (Curious), 09:09:42 01/22/14 Wed(cpe-68-174-205-25.si.res.rr.com/68.174.205.25)
I once read that Brian was in a band called The Ramrods before he founded The Rolling Stones..I wonder If this was during his "Elmo Lewis" Period when he played all over Europe..Just some food for thought..Love and Peace, Jajouka, B-
Ive been Hearing Brian on the Radio a lot -- Bernard (Feeling really good), 06:38:21 01/15/14 Wed(cpe-68-174-204-241.si.res.rr.com/68.174.204.241)
I hope you all are recovered from the holidays, I just felt I had to mention this..Theres a classic rock Station in New York, Q104,which plays live music at 5 PM every day, In the past few weeks they have played Brian Live twice..The first being him playing an excellent version of "Jumpin Jack Flash" from the Rock and Roll Circus,and yesterday being an Excellent version of Under My Thumb from the Remastered "Got Live if you want it"where all the Rolling Stones are introduced, including Brian and he plays some very intricate Guitar, (Not Maracas(!))..Im always on the lookout for Brian. Hope you all are well and warm. Love, Peace and Jajouka, B-
"Cosmic Christmas" -- Bernard Mc Dermott (Stone Alone), 15:28:45 12/17/13 Tue(118.sub-70-208-73.myvzw.com/70.208.73.118)
Im sure you all know that "Cosmic Christmas" was a title considered for "Your Satanic Majesties Request" which to this day I consider an unfortunate choice,as well as "Sympathy For The Devil" a stupid piece of garbage that started so many people down the wrong path Musically and otherwise. So Im having my own "Cosmic Christmas" by growing a beard and will spend it with my younger sister. I was reading Old Spice's posts and would like to tell you My father used Old spice as I have for years and still do. I have cried over Brian and the Stones many times in the past, mainly because I cared about them (Not Brian) too much and have considered myself and many musicians I have played with "Stones alone"Its just a physical fact of my life which is at best fantastic and at worst, Schizoid.so In the spirit of Love, Ill wish Keith a happy 70th Birthday and a good tour next year..and do admit He and Mick Influenced me a lot even when I didnt want them to. Ive seen a lot of beautiful Films of Brian Recently and have been very inspired by them..the Beard is sort of a Beatles thing which I also indulge a lot,and Im looking forward to Beatlefest here in New York Next february..Its a yearly ritual which I enjoy very much..I hope a lot of people who havent been present here in a long time, Especially Roxanne Fontana are well and happy and have a great 2014..I guess Ill have my own 14 on fire, 13 was hot enough!! May all your fondest wishes come true in the new Year. Jajouka, B-
Reelin in the years DVD -- WRD, 04:55:13 08/26/13 Mon(c-66-177-205-190.hsd1.fl.comcast.net/66.177.205.190)
A friend just sent me an email regarding the Reelin In The Years DVD. I'm posting this on Brian's Board because it shows several great video's of Brian's band. Please note Brian is up front on stage, where he should be as the leader of his band.
Original Rolling Stone Magazine article from 1969 -- Lazlo, 18:49:12 12/12/13 Thu(adsl-76-248-147-114.dsl.wlfrct.sbcglobal.net/76.248.147.114)
Stumbled upon this while surfing the web. The original article from the August 9, 1969 issue of Rolling Stone Magazine, for those who've never read it. Lots of glaring factual errors. When you think about it, this article, warts and all, was sort of a precursor as to how Brian's life and death would be reported for what appears to be all eternity.
Happiest Holidays to all My Fellow Stones Alone -- Bernie (Very happy), 07:33:33 11/25/13 Mon(102.sub-70-208-72.myvzw.com/70.208.72.102)

Im very Disappointed -- Bernie, 10:09:41 11/11/13 Mon(144.sub-70-208-75.myvzw.com/70.208.75.144)
Im very disappointed that no one seems to care about Gerry's Masterpiece, This Brian Jones forum she created. Im sick and tired of having to look at Mick and Keith and Ron and Charlie and watch them rake in the cash, none of which I think goes to Brians family...Of course Brian had a tough life, Thats why I love him. Severe Asthma is one of the most frightening, awful diseases, which we both had, and I recall reading that Brian also suffered from Schizophrenia and drug addiction as well,which is even worse. I want to go through here and look at the pictures of him, just to remind myself of his handsomeness and great style in spite of all his problems.a To quote Brian, "Please dont judge me harshly" Hes a beautiful piece of rock and Roll history,and regardless of what anyone says he was a piece of work. I wish Linda, Delilah, Lazlo and anyone else who remains here Lovely Holidays and hope you are all well and and surrounded by loved ones, the same goes for Dawn Molloy and Pat Andrews and all of Brian's "Stones Alone" and all his surviving family. God Bless. Jajouka, Bernie
Brian and Paint It Black -- Brian's sitar on Pait It Black, 10:37:10 08/18/13 Sun(c-66-177-205-190.hsd1.fl.comcast.net/66.177.205.190)
Need the pro's feed back on this one.
I'm in a freindly argument regarding the intro to "Paint It Black." Listening to the isolated rare track I feel that it's Brian playing the intro on his sitar, rather than Keef on guitar. You can clearly hear the sitar once the song begins but the intro is mysterious.
All quiet on the Western Front -- George (Hope everyone is doing well), 14:25:49 07/24/13 Wed(pool-173-53-25-76.rcmdva.fios.verizon.net/173.53.25.76)
It has been a while since I last posted here but just wanted to say hello to everyone. I still check the site every now and then... sorry for being such a stranger!! It seems as if there is no new buzz going on about our Brian.
I search the web and find little things from time to time that makes my blood boil (Mick , Keith or Charlie saying some type of rubbish). I guess there will never be justice for Brian. The bad guys have won and scared everyone off or paid them off or both. I re-read where Brian's case can never be reopened for 75 years (important classified info that will not be released). I didn't know Brian was in the same company as JFK (certain information regarding his assassination also has 75 years before documents can be released)!! So Great Britain's big brother (I thought that type of stuff only happened in the good old USA) is also "protecting" living individuals who know the truth about what happened to Brian. It's a great world we live in... we live in a "free" society but cannot get certain information on a guy who used to play in a rock n roll band? Not to mention the 75 years before these documents will be released!! Just want to know whom is so important that they came up with that classification (in other words who paid off whom)??!!
Chew on that for a little bit folks. Brian would probably be laughing his arse off knowing he was THAT important (his "Death By Misadventure").
I was reading an old post by Old Spice regarding Brian quiting the band and how the Stones have since changed the story... now, wherever you look, that is how the story goes. Oh we fired Brian... lies, lies, lies. That has become the truth? Does anyone care enough to set the story straight?? Nowadays I am not sure. Even this forum has slowed down with little new insight on Brian. If WE do not say something regarding Mick/Keith etc... then who will?
Hope you all take care. Sorry about my soapbox speech!! I love Brian and this forum. It's one of the coolest web sites out there. Just hope we can rekindle the fire again and start getting the truth back out there.
Hows all my Favorite Stones Fans? -- Bernie (Relaxed and satisfied), 08:51:41 08/07/13 Wed(154.sub-70-208-77.myvzw.com/70.208.77.154)
My dearest Stones Alone, As I write this I am listening to Disc one of Grrr! and getting my morning dose of Brian. It was given to me as a present from my English cousin, I thought of you all while I was in England and Scotland..I got to sing "Jailhouse Rock" in Liverpool and "Jumping Jack Flash" and Honky Tonk Women"at my Birthday party My family loved my Mick Impersonation, which is something Ive been known for since I was a teenager..I had a fantastic time in The UK and am very proud of my Mothers wonderful family and to be of Celtic and British descent..When My sister and I finally left,I was sore from laughing and getting hugged and Kissed!! I hope this finds you all well and in good health and spirits. whenever I hear about the Stones I think of this place.I hope you all are enjoying the summer. So i will wish you Jajouka as usual and Peace and Love, Your good friend, Bernard
July 3-I was wondering what anyone had planned -- Bernie (Miss Everyone), 13:50:20 06/24/13 Mon(217.sub-70-192-66.myvzw.com/70.192.66.217)
All that Rock and Roll Hall of fame stuff was really great..I sent flowers Last year on July 3,Ill be away that day but plan to listen to Brian at least..Its good to see him get so much recognition. I hope all the regulars here are in Good health and spirits..I often think of this site and you all..Im going to England and Scotland July 26 for my 60th Birthday and will spend it with my friends in Liverpool. My health has improved incredibly and I feel all sorted out and in one piece. I hope everybody who experienced the Rolling Stones tour had a great time. I recently saw Paul Mc Cartney in Brooklyn,and he was phenomenal, spectacular, louder than the Stones It was like a long mind bending trip or dream. He really impressed me. Its just a shame the other Beatles werent there. So In conclusion, I miss you all and wish you all the best. God Bless. Jajouka, Bernard
The tongue pit at the Rolling Stones' 50 and Counting arena concerts brings fans within a few yards of the world's greatest rock 'n' roll band.
A new exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum cuts that distance to inches.
Rolling Stones: 50 Years of Satisfaction, opening Friday at the Cleveland museum, fills nearly three floors with a comprehensive retrospective that spans the band's history from the mid-1960s through today in artifacts, film, text and interactive tech.
Among the treasures are a cape, stitched from flags, that Mick Jagger wore on tour in 1981-82, the Harmony 12-string acoustic guitar that Keith Richards played on such early records as Tell Me and Good Times, Bad Times, a sketch by Charlie Watts that was published in a 1966 U.S. tour program, Brian Jones' custom Vox teardrop guitar and the original artwork for 1974's It's Only Rock 'n Roll.
Luck and a hunch played a role in the exhibit's overlap with the current tour. After failing to entice the Stones for years, the Rock Hall approached the band as it neared its 50th anniversary.
"We threw a Hail Mary pass and said, 'Hey, how about now?' and they came back with an OK," says curatorial director Howard Kramer.
Rock Hall president/CEO Greg Harris adds, "It's helpful they were gearing up for a tour. I think maybe they were in a mood to look back a little bit. It doesn't mean you're being put on a shelf. We're honoring their achievements. We know there's more to come. It's living history."
Curators met with the band, family members and many collectors to assemble a vast array of objects.
The Stones "were forthcoming with materials but more would have been better," Kramer says. "We're not complaining."
His challenge was shaping the haul into a coherent narrative.
"You have to pick your stories, and there's no shortage," Kramer says. "This is an epic. You have to tell about the formation, the roots, England at the time, problems with the law, songwriting, changes in the band.
"You have to show people the scope of their career, and there's nothing comparable in the history of recorded music. They're much more than the bad boys of rock. Keith has said, 'I still look at this as a Chicago blues band.' But the richness of the story is in the quality, sustainability and impact they've had."
The Stone Age excavation unearthed a plum cache that includes:
Jagger's Steel Wheels green leather jacket, circa 1989.
Richards' Telecaster-style hybrid guitar. The original, plagued by technical problems in the 1978 U.S. tour, was fitted with a replacement rosewood body and new hardware by Schecter Guitars.
Watts' Western Costume Design mariachi shirt, worn occasionally on stage in the '70s. ("I couldn't play in it," the drummer said. "All the ruffles came down to my wrists.")
Ronnie Wood's Zemaitis guitar, circa 1978.
Jones' Appalachian dulcimer, played on Lady Jane and I Am Waiting.
Richards' black leather bomber jacket, which he sports in photos in 1966 Stones hits collection Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass).
Jagger's 1961 class photograph and basketball team photo from Dartford Grammar School, where he excelled in academics and sports. (His father, Joe Jagger, said, "He was excellent at basketball and cricket, but he didn't want to be tied down to all of the practice.")
The Stones' 1970 letter to Santana requesting permission to use the group's Altamont performance in a film with the working title Love in Vain, later released as Gimme Shelter. Santana declined.
A 1963 publishing agreement for early composition Stoned, the B-side of second single I Wanna Be Your Man, a Lennon/McCartney tune. All members, including Ian Stewart, are cited as co-composers.
Kramer also was excited to acquire a 1963 poster "with a glorious graphic" touting a Stones gig at Windsor's storied Ricky Tick club, Jones' Harmony Stratotone guitar, a Jagger jumpsuit by Swinging Sixties designer Ossie Clark and a leopard print jacket "emblematic of Keith's wild-man image."
Seeing such objects in photos or videos can't compare to the museum experience, even if touching is forbidden, Kramer says.
"Nothing substitutes for real," he says. "Look at how many people lined the streets of Los Angeles to see the space shuttle. There's a rewarding aspect to breathing the same air."
Another hoard lies in a companion exhibit at the museum library and archives that examines the Rolling Stones' tour production from 1975 to 1981 in photographs, stage drawings, fabric samples, lighting cues and set lists. Rolling Stones Records executive Art Collins' handwritten notes, used to help decide what to include in concert film Let's Spend the Night Together, also will be on view, along with Frank Sinatra's 1978 written request for tickets.
For the first time, the museum has launched a fan-generated interactive project that encourages participants worldwide to share photos of memorabilia, artwork, Stones concerts and more to be used in a multimedia display in the exhibit and online.
Fans may upload original images to Twitter and Instagram with the hashtag #rockhallsatisfaction to contribute. Images will be used in the exhibit, online and on the Rock Hall museum's Facebook page until the exhibit closes in March 2014.
Endurance isn't the only reason the Stones warrant such a blockbuster presentation, poised to eclipse the popularity of the museum's Elvis Presley and John Lennon exhibits.
"Their body of work is remarkable and creates a framework for telling a bigger story of rock 'n' roll," Harris says. "We think of 1950s America in Technicolor. Growing up in post-war England was far more black and white. They were living around bombed-out buildings. American blues from a marginalized voice connected with them so hard. It exploded there. The Stones came out of that scene. They keyed into Chicago music, brought it back to us and took it around the world. They embraced different styles without ever losing their identity."
Harris expects swarms of intergenerational visitors and lots of families.
"For the first time, parents and kids like the same music," he says.
"I'd like people to walk out knowing they are connected to something larger, that there is a global network connected to this band," Harris says. "And without getting too far from the music, the band's longevity is inspiring: To see what they've gone through, how they've flourished and continue to create great art and make new fans."
The Stones, inducted into the Rock Hall in 1989, will be the subject of free public programs, interviews, films and lectures during the exhibit's run. For details, visit RockHall.com.
Stones to hit the road -- Jim, 22:26:10 03/13/13 Wed(c-68-41-248-214.hsd1.mi.comcast.net/68.41.248.214)

Brian Jones: A Story of Our Times - 1971 BBC Program -- Delilah, 11:24:02 04/13/13 Sat(modemcable017.245-162-184.mc.videotron.ca/184.162.245.17)
Very nice radio program which aired on the BBC in 1971. Interesting to see how the points of view of the various characters have changed over time...
Notice how they say that Brian left the Stones, not that he was fired. That is a Keith invention (another one!) which came later.
Charlie Watts Interview -- Delilah, 11:19:01 04/13/13 Sat(modemcable017.245-162-184.mc.videotron.ca/184.162.245.17)
This was posted to Keno's board and I must say that I enjoyed reading this Charlie interview. He doesn't say much about Brian but what he does say isn't too negative. A welcome change from all the crap usually being spouted about Brian by his former band mates...
Memories of Gerry Seda, someone who Became a great friend -- Bernard James Mc Dermott (wistful), 11:50:17 04/03/13 Wed(138.sub-70-192-96.myvzw.com/70.192.96.138)
I think of Gerry every day and every time I use my computer. Brian was the first person I looked for when I got my first computer back in 1999 and Gerry welcomed me to cyberspace. I recently found her favorite photo of "Lewis" as she respectfully called him shortly before she passed away on the new My Space. This was an award winning creation of hers and one of the most popular sites on the internet, more than a million hits in one year..she sold Brian Clothes and came from my hometown of Brooklyn. We had many mutual friends who I talked to every day, not only here but on the phone.I dont know how many Brian Jones fan clubs Ive been a member of. Today the Stones announced a USA tour as Jim had mentioned. I hope everyone has a really great time that sees them, but the Rolling Stones will always be Brian's band and I hope they will do him justice, theyre the only ones who can..So Gerry and Brian, Rest in Peace, Sweet Prince and Princess. I love you. Jajouka, "BJ" Please look over me and everyone that loves you.
I got Keith's book "Life" For Christmas-Its Disgusting! -- Bernie (Fed up trying to be understanding), 10:05:50 03/13/13 Wed(172.sub-70-192-93.myvzw.com/70.192.93.172)
I have been reading "Life" for a while now..Keith talks about exorbitant excesses of drugs and isnt kind to Brian at all..He talks of Brian Staying in Chicago running around with a bow around his neck,while the Stones had to play without him,and how he "Fell For Being a Star"..Listen to the Pot calling The Kettle Black! Now I hear those rotten old bastards are touring again. I wanted to throw that book in the trash so badly, i just tossed it somewhere in disgust. I saw a play about Motown The other night and thought of a Picture I saw of Brian with Diana Ross,around 1968,where he looked like a perfect gentleman..Its terrible to think how people adore this ugly old dope addict,and his athlete partner..On Motown, It was one of the Rolling Stones' Biggest influences,and It was Brian who gave them a Motown like sound first..I recently heard Brian playing with Jimi Hendrix, he was playing really well..Id love to hear Brians Solo Recordings if they havent been destroyed..according to Roxanne, theyre really good and Brian had a great voice..one more reason why I still id with Brian is that I know what its like when certain players take over your band, it ends and they go on playing things you made up Im no big Star or no saint, but I hate irritating big egos,which is all Keith shows in this terrible book..he says "its one thing To Play a Muddy waters song but its another thing to play it with him"..as if Muddy Waters needed him..Well thank God nobody connects me with the Stones anymore..Ive changed too much for that, and also for the better..Hope everyone who comes here again is well, in good spirits and comfortable. God Bless and Happy Spring. Love and peace, B-
Flowers For Brian's birthday -- Bernard, 11:33:41 01/11/13 Fri(220.sub-70-192-68.myvzw.com/70.192.68.220)
I was just wondering if Roxanne intends to visit Brian's grave on his birthday..she was good enough to put flowers there for me Last July 3..If I could make it to England and do it myself I would,but thats not possible..He's the only person I would do this for..hope everyone here is in good spirits, Jajouka, Bernard

OK maybe I'm late to the party but I'd never seen this before. Among other things, listen to Brian explain how he got into music!

Not Brian, but His stand in -- FGWM, 17:37:35 12/27/12 Thu(NoHost/76.251.176.235)
Wow did any of you catch the news of Ronnie Woods Marriage?12/21/12, He was married to Suzie 34yrs old ,31 yrs. his junior and No #3. Mrs. woods. None of the Stones were in attendance, but among the celebrities were Sir Paul McCartney, and Rod Stewart. Even on tour not a Stone was in attendance. I think that maybe the Stones may have respected Ronnie's 2nd wife too much to attend. I don't know
I wonder if Ron set the date for 12/21/12 because of the off chance that the world might have ended and she might not
get all his money?
Merry Christmas! -- Linda, 05:56:25 12/25/12 Tue(184-156-197-169.dyn.centurytel.net/184.156.197.169)
We've all made it through "Doomsday", and nobody was happier than I was when December 21st passed without incident. Here's one more Christmas to wish Brian fans everywhere a blessed new year. God bless you all!
What a Year and 50th Anniversary Its Been! -- Bernie (Very happy), 13:11:37 12/21/12 Fri(124.sub-70-192-93.myvzw.com/70.192.93.124)
While 2012 might have gotten off to a rather bumpy start for me, I have made a lot of progress this year..This board has been very helpful to me, all your kindnesses and patience has been one of the highlights. I would like especially to thank Delilah for her work in keeping this going; Gerry Would be proud..and also for posting all these interesting links and videos,and Linda for her cheerful presence,we havent heard from Roxanne since last summer, but I hope she and her husband are secure and happy..And also Lazlo and Jim for caring enough to share information..Id like to thank The Rolling Stones for fooling us and then delivering the goods..I hope all your wishes for the new year come true..my only wishes are to play with others again and to let my hair get long again, My Sister plans to take me to Scotland and Liverpool this summer to celebrate my 60th Birthday; hopefully there wont be any disasters like happened here in New York this year. So God Bless you all, peace and Love, and Rock and Roll Music. Jajouka, "Crazy Bernard"
