Excellent video. There are stories here from Anna that I had never heard before. Some of what she shared paints Brian in a somewhat more sympathetic light than is often the case.

Brian was murdered. He was an excellent swimmer. When Rolling Stones came to Australia. In 60s they went to Bondi Beach Brian swam so far out they lost sight of him. 30 minutes later he came back to shore. As for Brian’s death. I Blame Frank Thorogood He was in the pool with Jones and out of resentment and jealousy killed Brian. He confessed in 1993. While in hospital dying of cancer. It was hushed up. To the point Anna was deported and Tom Keylock burnt all Brains clothes the next day. And the builders were looting his house.

[@thaismatsumoto]

He was using drugs. Being an excellswimmer means nothing. Look at Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys. He was a surfer and drowned too.

[@BlowinFree]

@@thaismatsumotowell that’s debatable, some say he was given the chop by cia

[@filmretrospective5334]

Frank wasn't dying of cancer when he was admitted to the hospital for respiratory problems. He didn't know he was going to die so how could it be a deathbed confession? You're going by the words of Tom Keylock who according to brians daughter never spoke to frank alone as she was with him each day. Tom also went back on his statement and said it wasnt true, before going back again and saying it was true.

As it didn’t make any sense and it’s suspicious that Keylock was burning Brian’s clothes next day. The police took what they’re findings to superiors but they didn’t have enough to go on.

[@westfield90]

Sad story on the fragility of life. You get lucky enough to gain fame and money but life becomes boring and drugs and alcohol become your outlets. Depressingly that doesn’t end well most times. I feel for Anna because it’s those left behind that they have a torturous existence and life seems very very long, sad and rather pointless constantly filled with what ifs.

[@hankwedelmusic9965]

In July 1969, Brian Jones was laid to the cosmic rest he deserved for living such a full on and Explosively Creative life... Without a doubt, Brian Jones was the most interesting musician The UK has ever yielded... Was there anyone more responsible for The British Blues boom going global? Was there a mod to out dress him? Was there a hippie to out freak him? Was there a punk more outrageous in the media than Brian Jones? Was there a glam rocker who didn’t pay homage to Brian Jones? A New Romantic more effortless at being androgynous? Has The UK produced a more perfect pop star not known for writing his own songs? Was there a studio musician more influential? Brian remains the deepest root of modern UK experimental music Was there ever a plainer name than Brian Jones more synonymous with highly sexualised camp narcotic excess? Two members of the band he pulled together still tour under the name he chose for them 60 years ago… It’s interesting to observe that in the wake of Brian’s passing, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards both exhibited the alpha aspects of Brian’s persona... Mick became the erudite, globe trotting, media celebrity and record producer... fathering many children by many women while also steering the ship... Keith became the drug addled blues rocker making Open G his own… with a deep interest in the roots of a marginalised world music at the time, reggae... and record producer... shacked up with Anita Pallenberg… Also very interesting is how both Mick Taylor and Ron Wood both strongly reflect Brian Jones in their roles as his replacement... Mick Taylor, the lone bluesman and slide guitarist virtuoso... Mick Taylor’s presence saved that band from musical ruin... There was no one better for them in 1969.... Ron Wood, Hot Brit Rock Guitarist Partner in crime and social butterfly dandy friend to all the other rockers... that band would have fallen apart but for Ron Wood in 1975... Fittingly when Bill Wyman quit in the early 90s, he was replaced by another Jones…. Darryl Jones Their 2016 release “Blue and Lonsesome” was made up of songs they would have known from their time with Brian… who, along with Ian Stewart KNEW that the late Charlie Watts was the only drummer in London able to swing in a way that would make the band… Their most recent release 2023’s “Hackney Diamonds” concludes with Muddy Water’s “Rollin Stone Blues” a song Brian named the band after In conclusion I’ve always been fascinated by Brian Jones despite knowing that aspects of his behaviour called some serious diabolical forces down... I tend to not judge him too harshly and concentrate on the other aspects... the musically driven visionary who created himself like very few others do...

[@jonathansteadman7935]

I don't think Brian could handle fame, he mentions it during various interviews. As Mick said ' Fame doesn't rest easy on most people, but with Brian it didn't fit at all'. He was the first rock star, he was the first Stone to wear his girlfriend's colourful shirts, he was the most creative musicians and had a style ahead of his peers. Apparently he wanted to do something in the style of Creedence Clearwater, while being into world music years before it became a 'thing', the recordings he made of Jojoukan musicians of morroco for instance. Even Charlie Watts, who was not someone to mix his words, said Brian was not a very nice person, but was very charming'. He was the first to have this mix of personality disorders, which weren't recognised back then, with the problems of frame. Ultimately, we never got to hear Brians side of things as, apart from Robert Johnson he was first of the 27 club.

[@TheaterPup]

Charlie didn't mince words, but fans constantly misquote him. He meant that Brian would sometimes "upset people." That is not the same as not being a nice person. When you're a rebel, you're going to upset people at times.

[@tobydammit7426]

Considering where Brian Jones kept his brains, they should have called it "Crotchford Farm!" How about a tribute to all the girls Brian Jones impregnated and abandoned and all the children he left fatherless? Why all this eternal worship of a narcissistic drug addict who didn't compose any of the Stones songs, physically abused Anita Pallenberg (and that's just the girlfriend abuse we know for sure) and had to be fired from the Stones because he could or would no longer contribute anything to the band? Because he looked and acted cool?! And btw, compared to Ravi Shankar (and a million Indian sitar players most people have never heard of) Brian Jones was an amateur dilettante on the sitar! If you read Keith Richards' biography "Life," you can also read about what a cruel person Brian was to perfect strangers, like a fan he left out in the freezing cold after taking his coat! He was a very pretty, very pretentious nothing with a mean streak!

[@angusvansatriani784]

Brian was a piece of work. Yes, his untimely death was very sad and a shame. But Brian was horribly abusive to Anita. I doubt she would've been with Keith otherwise. Nor would Keith have been comfortable to make a move for her. That they felt bad and/or guilty says more about them than Brian. Not to mention the poor little girls he got pregnant. A saint, he was not. And there were several people who witnessed how cruel he was to the groundskeeper. As well as a major phsycological game player. That he intensely rubbed people the wrong way was something all around him could attest to.

[@kentucy9999]

1. Brian couldn't write songs. Mick + Keith would have loved to have written some songs with Brian and they tried too but he couldn't write songs. That isn't unusual. Many very talented musicians aren't composers. They didn't "X" Brian out. 2. Keith did not "steal" Anita. Brian was mistreating Anita being physically abusive and everything else. Keith didn't "steal" Anita. In his mind he "rescued" Anita. 3. Brian was very happy at the beginning when he was the quasi leader of the Stones and they were playing "covers." One day Andrew Loog Oldham their original manager said to Mick + Keith, "look boys. If you're ever going to do anything you've got to write your own songs and you need to start working on that today." Mick + Keith's initial reaction was, "what are you talking about? We don't know how to write songs." Andrew said, "well learn then, right now." So they wrote a couple songs and lo and behold people liked them so they wrote a couple more {and people liked those also.} No one was more surprised than them. Brian was devastated by this. He was devastated that Mick + Keith were successful writing songs and were now the center of the band. Brian never got over this. He couldn't accept it. He was very jealous especially of Mick who was becoming the biggest rock star in the world. Keith has said, "Brian wanted to be Mick and couldn't understand why people didn't see him like Mick but Mick is Mick. Someone else can't be Mick." 4. Brian started doing A LOT of drugs. A LOT. He basically became incapacitated and completely ineffective as a musician and a member of the band...........end of story. Maybe the band could have handled the "sacking" of Brian a bit better. I don't know. I wasn't there.

[@filmretrospective5334]

1. Brian could write songs, he wrote the soundtrack for degree of murder 2. Keith was physically abusive to Anita too so he wasn't "rescuing" her. and there's no correction with 3 or 4 they're just statements.
