This is the only book to tell the Rolling Stones story from the point of view of its founder, Brian Jones. With raw energy, extreme talent, unbridled sexuality, and a fiery imagination Brian propelled his band to superstardom. Legends Dylan, Lennon, McCartney, and Hendrix considered him one of their own. The Sixties generation, the decade of love, began with Brian's creating the Rolling Stones and ended with his suspicious death in July 1969. Without his band that promoted free love, sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll, there never would have been that decade of love. Brian decided to promote the music of the Delta Blues, America's true gospel music. He succeeded so well that the Rolling Stones is the only rock group from that era to continue to tour worldwide. After a fight with his band over musical direction, Brian planned to start anew and take the Rolling Stones name with him. Three weeks after being released from the band he created, Brian mysteriously drowned in his swimming pool.
