About this book
The Rolling Stones were founded by Brian Jones who selected Jagger, Richards, Stewart, Wyman and Watts to join his group. He continues to be vilified as a callous nerd, and those who perhaps give him credit for musical creativity and a good dress style, quickly hasten to claim his character was flawed. Despite persistently badmouthed as a misfit who had some of the devil in him, the truth is that the devil did not impregnate his mother any better than the Holy Ghost impregnated Mary mother of Jesus. He was the product of an abysmally dysfunctional family with bigoted Christian parents inflicting malicious manipulation on their son, whose only failure was not to be what his parents wanted. His father was an intolerant, egotistical tyrant convinced of paternal omnipotence as the head of the family. Brian Jones' mental development was thwarted in the hands of his parents who neglected their son's emotional needs, and his distress manifested itself as the psychosomatic asthma he developed. An alleged social bastard without ethics, he was, in fact, a badly mistreated human being with problems. The depth of his artistic talent goes painfully unrecognized. Like a stray cat in the street, he died as a result of human mistreatment, yet like everyone else, Brian Jones deserves to be considered in his circumstances.
