How About a Brian Pic Thread? -- Delilah, 17:07:37 06/23/08 Mon(bas14-montrealak-1177986211.dsl.bell.ca/70.54.164.163)
I hope that we are allowed to do this on this board. If not, I apologize.
I'm not trying to compete with the Brian thread on Rocks Off (which I don't post to, but check faithfully every day). I'm just hoping that we can share some of our favourite Brian pics right here. It doesn't matter if we've seen them a thousand times. There will always be someone for whom they will be new.
Here's one that's been seen time and time again. I've enlarged it because my copy is rather small.
Here is how to post a pic if you don't know how but would like to try:
You'll need a host site for your pic. I (and many other people) use www.photobucket.com. It only takes a couple of minutes to open a FREE account.
Once that is done, you will need to upload your photo from your computer to Photobucket. Then, copy and paste the link that says "HTML Code" into your message and... voilà!
It's always a good idea to preview your message before you send it, to make sure that everything is as it should be.
I'm hoping that others will share some Brian pics that they like :)

Mama and Grave? -- Zoe, 11:55:35 07/04/08 Fri(host81-151-224-204.range81-151.btcentralplus.com/81.151.224.204)
Yesterday my bf and I went to Prestbury to see Brian Jones grave. It also happened to be the 39th anniversary of his murder / death. We found a memorial book in a 2008 diary for visitors to sign. A lot of the entries were by a "Mama" I was just wondering if anyone knows who this person might be? I'm not convinced it's his mother, but I might be wrong!! Many thanks and long live BJ x

What Happened to Brian on July 2 1969? -- Delilah, 14:58:37 07/10/08 Thu(bas14-montrealak-1177640818.dsl.bell.ca/70.49.95.114)
The recent anniversary of Brian's death had me thinking, once again, about what could have happened to him.
The drug death theory has been pretty much discredited, so we can dispense with that one.
Some people believe that he committed suicide. I don't believe that it is possible to simply drown yourself on purpose any more than it is possible to commit suicide by holding your breath. Which is, when you come down to it, essentially the same thing.
I have always had trouble with the murder theory, for two main reasons: 1) Brian was a small man, but by all accounts, he was strong. Plus he was a very good swimmer. Even if taken by surprise, he would have fought back and this would have made a racket. 2) Unless he was either an habitual killer or the coldest blooded man on the planet, or both, Frank's behaviour just isn’t that of a man who had just killed, whether accidentally (the horseplay theory) or on purpose. The (admittedly imprecise and conflicting) reports are that he just casually walked into the house looking for a towel and a cigarette. I just can't reconcile that with a man who had just killed someone.
My own theory (and that's all it is, a theory) is that he suffered the same sort of fainting spell that sound engineer George Chiantz witnessed in Morocco. At the time, Suki told GC that Brian "does this all the time" (not an exact quote, but that's the gist of it) and that all he had to do was sleep it off and he'd be fine. What if he fainted in the pool with nobody there to get him out?
Anyone else wants to jump in with their own theory?
Stones history article at least giving Brian credit! -- Kevin Randall, 21:09:46 07/18/08 Fri(118.sub-75-196-4.myvzw.com/75.196.4.118)
I Just found this article about the stones and on the history od the stones at least Brian is getting credit in this one where credit is due:

This will blow your mind: search on YouTube the following search term EXACTLY as shown, without quotation marks (sorry, I could not figure out how to link directly):
"Rolling Stones w Warszawie 1967"
Live footage from the 1967 Warsaw, Poland show with Brian. Rarest of the rare. Enjoy.

Memories of a Stone -- Linda, 21:07:33 07/01/08 Tue(75-130-210-31.dhcp.stls.mo.charter.com/75.130.210.31)
Well in a few hours or a day, it will be time for Brian Jones to think about
the terrible tragedy that happened almost 40 years ago. It is very often
hard for me to look at his resting place, the pictures of him when he was
alive and sometimes Cotchford Farm. I feel mostly happy when I look at
pictures of CF because it is so beautiful, tranquil, and quiet. (I also got a
kick of out seeing 2 satellite dishes Mr. John has on the roof)
I can only say I am glad I was a teen in the Sixties and was here when BJ
was. Sure would be nice if I could put something beautiful on his grave.
It has been almost impossible to forget that terrible event, I have thought
about it almost continuously since it happened. But hopefully Trevor and
his investigators will finally solve this mystery of who did what once and for
all. RIP Brian WE LOVE YOU!!

Keith,Stones founding member? -- Kevin Randall, 20:17:50 07/07/08 Mon(103.sub-75-199-85.myvzw.com/75.199.85.103)
I went to the Wikipedia of Keith Richards and it says that he is the founding member of the Rolling Stones! what a crock of BS!Here's the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Richards
Hopefully someone can go on there and take out the false statement founding member being Keith and put Brian's name in there as being the founding member and /or contact Wikipedia and correct them on who the real founding member of the stones really was.
