I don't know how all this got so out of hand so quickly, but this wasn't the original subject. If you wonder why this "lie", as you put it, keeps popping up, observe below something copied from Wikipedia about Brian. If you think it's a "lie", contact them and tell them! They don't usually put things down that are unsubstantiated without first putting in a disclaimer. This is where I FIRST got this "lie", and I've gotten it again...over and over...both on line and in books.

Here goes:

"The Stones decided that following the release of the Let it Bleed album (scheduled for a July 1969 release in the US), they would start a North American tour in November 1969. However, the Stones management was informed that because of his drug convictions, Jones would not receive a work permit. At the suggestion of pianist and road manager Ian Stewart, the Stones decided to add a new guitarist, and on 8 June 1969, Jones was visited by Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Charlie Watts, and was told that the group he had formed would continue without him.[27]

To the public, it appeared as if Jones had left voluntarily; the other band members told him that although he was being asked to leave, it was his choice how to break it to the public. Jones released a statement on 9 June 1969 announcing his departure. In this statement he said, among other things, that "I no longer see eye-to-eye with the others over the discs we are cutting".[28] Jones was replaced by 20-year-old guitarist Mick Taylor (formerly of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers).

During the period of his decreasing involvement in the band, Jones was living at Cotchford Farm in East Sussex, the residence formerly owned by Winnie-the-Pooh author A. A. Milne, which Jones had purchased in November 1968. There is uncertainty as to the mental and physical state Jones was in. The last known photographs of Jones, taken by schoolgirl Helen Spittal on 23 June 1969, shortly after his departure from the Stones, are not flattering; he appears bloated, with deep-set eyes.[citation needed] However, Alexis Korner, who visited in late June only shortly after the Spittal photos were taken, noted that Jones seemed "happier than he had ever been".[29] He is known to have contacted Korner, Ian Stewart, Mitch Mitchell and Jimmy Miller about intentions to put together another band.

..........................................................

It goes on to discuss the night of his death. Please don't think I or anyone else is trying to defy what you tell us. After all, most people don't want their personal friends to think they aren't in charge of everything that's going on in their lives. Whether or not Brian was, or wasn't may not be something even HE was aware of...but then, as I've said before, it's all moot now.
