The Rolling Stones need your help
Posted by JackFlash @ 12:16 on March 29th 2012
Dear Rolling Stones fans,
We're gearing up to celebrate our fiftieth anniversary with a lot of exciting plans, and we'd appreciate your help with some of them.
Have you got any interesting photos, videos or audio of the band or band members? Maybe you filmed us on Super 8, stepping off the Isle of Wight ferry in 1964? Or perhaps you have made a VHS recording of us hanging out backstage at MSG in 1981? Do you have a recording from our gig in Streatham in 1963?
If you think you may have an amazing memento from our history we'd love to hear from you. Send an email to: memorymotel@stonesarchive.com
Thank you for being with us for all of these years, it's been a wild ride and there's plenty more to come!
Love from Mick, Keith, Charlie and Ronnie

I have seen Brian Referred to as "the Godstar" on quite a few occasions..he certainly is to us.. This is the Modern World, we now know its not flat, have landed on the moon..therefore, people can revere people who mean a lot to them, I am Reminded of "Citadel". The Rolling Stones and The Beatles had a lot of courage back in the 1960s,and still do to this day. and by the way, I dont blame my illness on anyone I ever loved, The Rolling Stones included,and any friends of mine who may or may not have done magic..Doctors and scientists still dont know what causes it,they can only treat the symptoms. There have only been medications for it since 1955. So if I want to hold Brian and musicians who inspire and excite me dear, its my right as well as all of ours..Im no more insane than Brian or Keith or Mick.When you live life hard and to the fullest,and also on your own terms,and your peers and friends' you're bound to feel different than people with less vivid imaginations. I also admire Mick's courage, being a Leo myself,and as Brian's Moon was in the same degree of Leo as mine..so I remain a Stone Alone. I look forward to seeing more pictures and films of the Stones,and reading more stories. Hope all of you and yours are well and in good spirits. Love, b-

- R.I.P. Levon Helms -- Margie, 10:22:27 04/22/12 Sun (ool-182c997c.dyn.optonline.net/24.44.153.124)
I haven't posted here recently but I am always, always a Brian fan. I was deeply saddened by the passing of another great musician, Levon Helm, this week. I don't think his and Brian's paths ever crossed but I can't help but feel that Brian would have respected Levon for being the very talented and serious musician that he was. I have read that Brian was a fan of the music of Creedence Clearwater in the year before he died, so I can't help but think that he would have enjoyed the work of The Band. Perhaps, Old Spice knew Levon from when she lived in Woodstock and has something to add. It's been a sad week with the passing of two great American Rock Icons - Dick Clark & Levon Helms.

All This negative stuff between Mick and Keith, if it is true, which I still think is some kind of Publicity stunt is very annoying as a one time fan, and a real disrespect for the Name That Brian Created, which Is one of the best names any Band ever had. I love the name "The Rolling Stones"; it is synonymous with good times and some of the hardest rock ever made,and no matter how much they think Brian is forgotten, he is not. I dont think they will ever see this or a lot that fans say and do because of them..I wonder what Brians loved ones and family think of this as well as Mick Taylor and Bill Wyman..Theyre like 2 jealous stupid little girls, or at least they act like it..it makes me feel foolish for even caring..as far as I go, I recently found out I have improved and wont need surgery again..My leg is better and so is my mind..some golden anniversary.

What more can I say? I havent read "life", I just read exerpts from it in Rolling Stone. As Delilahs videos say, Brian Jones will live forever and so will they.Some people take them too seriously, and dont realize theyre entertainment,like comedy and drama. You buy the Rolling Stones, and hopefully enjoy them, and always have. Im nowhere close to their popularity, but people have paid to see me as well.As brian Jones said, "Please dont judge me too harshly", and This applies to them as well as me and anyone who even attempts to entertain people,and they have the same spectrum of human emotions as any Intelligent people..I do my Male Burlesque act just like Mick Does and have friends who are strippers. So Let them do whatever they have to do to make this year "A bigger bang". Joujouka,b-

I was noticing how few die-hard loyal Brian Jones fans and friends there are left here; when Gerry once had over a million hits and LARS won a golden web prize for being one of the most popular sites in cyberspace, Its been trashed, crashed, and practically abandoned. Now It remains a source of information and friendship, not only because of brian, but because of Gerry Seda, who I consider one of the best friends I ever had, and also because of everyone who still cares enough to post here. All I can say is that I wish people here would pay attention to Delilah and her posts, and take a few minutes even just to say hello.Ive been here through some of the worst and best times of my life for 13 years and I appreciate everybody who has gone out of their way to be not just nice, but generous to me since 1999. So Brian still is in some peoples minds and hearts as well as mine. Its just sad this is so rare. Love, Peace and Understanding. Joujouka, B-

- "Mr. Tiny Todger, please forgive me" -- Lazlo, 10:02:59 03/18/12 Sun (adsl-99-136-255-103.dsl.wlfrct.sbcglobal.net/99.136.255.103)
2 articles from the New York Post. The first one appeared in today's paper.
Prickly Mick: No Stones!
These creaky Stones won’t roll.
Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger is still seething that Keith Richards dared to insult his manhood, claiming in Keith’s 2011 tell-all autobiography, “Life,” that his longtime lady-loving bandmate has a “tiny todger.”
The barb, dubbed “Willygate” by the British press, has apparently torpedoed what was left of the aging rock duo’s already icy relationship and sank any chance for a Stones 50th anniversary reunion tour this year.
“Mick feels that Keith violated their friendship completely, damaged his reputation and that of the Rolling Stones,” a Stones source tells London’s Daily Mail.
Richards claims he discovered the tidbit about his old friend’s bits and pieces during a tryst he had in 1960 with Marianne Faithfull, then Jagger’s girlfriend.
Making matters worse, he added how it had been his good fortune to bury his head in Faithfull’s “beautiful jugs” during an afternoon sex romp.
Last week, Richards, 68, apologized — in an effort to patch things up with Jagger, also a spry 68.
“As far as the book goes, it was my story and it was very raw, as I meant it to be,” Richards said. “But I know that some parts of it, and some of the publicity, really offended Mick, and I regret that.”
http://www.nypost.com/p/news/international/prickly_mick_no_stones_9mMJUWAI1xDRopoJGNg6GP?utm_medium=rss&utm_content=International
From yesterday:
Keith Richards 'regrets' saying Mick Jagger had a tiny todger.
Keith Richards says that "regrets" lobbing insults at his Rolling Stones bandmate Mick Jagger in his best-selling book, "Life." In the tome, Richards had revealed that his nickname for Jagger was "Her Majesty" and had alleged that the frontman had a "tiny todger."
"[Mick] and I have had conversations over the last year of a kind we have not had for an extremely long time and that has been incredibly important to me," Richards says in a documentary about the band's 50th anniversary, to be released in September. "As far as the book goes, it was my story and it was very raw, as I meant it to be, but I know that some parts of it and some of the publicity really offended Mick and I regret that."
Jagger was most likely offended that Richards had taken a jab at the size of his genitalia in a section where Richards' described his longtime girlfriend, Anita Pallenberg, as tiring of carrying on an affair with Jagger.
"The idea of status quo to Anita, in those days, was verboten. Everything must change. And we're not married, we're free, whatever. You're free as long as you let me know what's going on," wrote Richards. "Anyway, she had no fun with his tiny todger. I know he's got an enormous pair of balls, but it doesn't quite fill the gap, does it?"
Another oft-quoted section of "Life" read, "It was the beginning of the Eighties when Mick started to become unbearable. That's when be became Brenda, or Her Majesty, or just Madam."
In the documentary, Jagger admits that there was significant friction between himself and Richards and also expressed that he was glad the book had given the two occasion to discuss their differences.
"Looking back at any career you are bound to recall both the highs and the lows," said Jagger. "In the 1980s for instance Keith and I were not communicating very well. I got very involved with the business side of the Stones, mainly because I felt no one else was interested, but it’s plain now from the book that Keith felt excluded, which is a pity."
Jagger concluded, "Time, I reckon, to move on."

- Stones Tribute at Carnegie Hall, March 13, 2012 -- Lazlo, 16:25:12 03/12/12 Mon (adsl-99-136-255-103.dsl.wlfrct.sbcglobal.net/99.136.255.103)
No Brian mention, but this should be a cool show with a ton of good guests performing. I hope someone out there makes a decent recording of this gig. Wish I knew about this one sooner, I'd have tried to make it.
There are few icons in music as revered as the Rolling Stones. But given the band’s celebrity status, it’s easy to forget that part of the secret to their longevity, and their ability to create decades worth of classic songs, is that the Stones themselves are just a group of music-loving fanboys at heart.
Singer Marc Cohn is one of the 21 artists who’ll pay tribute to the band at Carnegie Hall on Tuesday, when each will play a song from the classic Stones album “Hot Rocks, 1964-1971,” in an event to benefit a series of children’s charities.
Cohn recalls the incredible night when he got to sit at a party with Bruce Springsteen on one side of him and Mick Jagger on the other.
Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images
Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones almost bare all to promote their 1971 album “Sticky Fingers.”
“Bruce asked Mick all these questions about how did you record this song, and what studio was that in,” says Cohn, who’ll sing “Wild Horses” with Jackson Browne at the benefit. “And then [blues singer] Taj Mahal, who’s also at the concert on Tuesday, came on the stereo, and Mick had all these great memories of listening to these old Taj Mahal records. No matter how famous or iconic you are, they’re just fans.”
Back when Ronnie Spector was the lead singer for the Ronettes, the Stones served as her opening act, with Jagger and bandmate Keith Richards sometimes sleeping on her shag-carpeted living room floor. Spector, who’ll sing “Time Is on My Side” at Carnegie, recently told NPR about the time she got to introduce the guys to James Brown backstage at the Apollo Theater.
“Mick Jagger was the biggest James Brown nut I ever met,” said Spector. “James came walking by, and I thought Mick was gonna have a heart attack! He went, ‘Aaaaaaahhh!’ And I said [to James], ‘This is Keith and Mick,’ and James said hi and just boogalooed on by, because they weren’t famous yet.”
While several acts at Tuesday’s event — such as Jagger’s ex, Marianne Faithfull, who’ll sing her Jagger/
Richards-penned hit, “As Tears Go By” — have close relationships with the group, for others it’ll be a chance to pay tribute to a band that had an anonymous impact on their musical lives.
“‘Mother’s Little Helper’ is the first song I learned to play on guitar,” says singer/songwriter Steve Earle, who’ll perform that song at Carnegie. “This period of the Rolling Stones is my favorite because they were directly in competition with The Beatles, and they knew it. So they were writing great songs because of it.”
This concert is the eighth annual tribute for charity produced by Michael Dorf, the founder and owner of City Winery. Past honorees have included R.E.M., Springsteen and The Who — and one of the magical aspects of these shows is the curiosity about whether the honoree will make a guest appearance.
“I did the Springsteen one, and I did ‘Nebraska’ with Springsteen standing about 30 feet away,” says Earle. “It was pretty nerve-wracking.”
Asked whether any of the Stones may show, Dorf says that so far, these tributes have been about 50/50 in that respect. R.E.M. fans lucked out, while the crowd at last year’s Neil Young show had no such luck. But he hints that there are potentially hopeful signs.
“There are some interesting contemporaries of the band’s here, like Ronnie Spector or Marianne Faithfull,” he says. “And having someone like Taj Mahal [who’ll perform “Honky Tonk Women”] has so much power and meaning for someone like Keith. So I think this would be compelling for the band to see.”
But whether or not any of the Stones make an appearance, the performers — who’ll also include Peaches doing “Heart of Stone,” the Black Crowes’ Rich Robinson singing “Play With Fire,” David Johansson performing “Get Off of My Cloud,” Art Garfunkel singing “Ruby Tuesday,” Rosanne Cash doing “Gimme Shelter” and more — are thrilled at the possibilities.
“These concerts at Carnegie Hall have become a thing unto themselves,” says Earle. “You’ll see a lot of special things happen as the night goes on.”

London is one of the most beautiful places on earth,of course I have known this since 1973 when I first visited. I went to the Marble arch and thought of Brian driving his car around and around. Anyway the train ride from Heathrow was amazing, I passed through Ealing, and passed through many fascinating places. I am now near St. Johns wood, and visited Abbey Road studios this morning..it was much more than just a Beatles Tribute, it was like an Education in the history of recording in England. I bought myself an Abbey Road Studio T-shirt as Its its 80th Anniversary. There are still Mods Left in London. Its a shame I cant join Roxanne,but Im leaving tomorrow. I hope you are all well and in good spirits, It looks like an early spring. God Bless, B-

Brian would be turning 70 on Tuesday. It's hard to imagine him at that age. What would he be doing today? Would he still be involved in music? What kind of career would he have had after the Stones? Would he maybe have rejoined the band after Mick Taylor left in 1974? So many questions to which we'll never have the answers. All we can do is conjecture.
In honour of the birthday boy, here's a link to download a folder full of screen grabs I made of Brian's interview from Charlie Is My Darling. I first downloaded the vid from You Tube so the quality of the shots is what it is. My program makes one still every second, so there are lots that look the same. I deleted the ones that were very fuzzy or totally black.
The title isn't mine. It is what the You Tube video is called, I didn't change it.
Enjoy! :)

I finally finished my tribute to Brian Ive wanted to write for years..its also the first song Ive finished in years. This is the words.
If I had known you I would have tried to help
Your Influence gave me a sense of self
Time was on my side but not on yours
You were too refined and elegant to have been a boor
You could write and you could sing
You shined like a most precious stone in a beautiful ring.
Aquamarine so blue and amethyst so violet
If it was ahead of its time you would try it
I know you had bad problems and so did I
This is the reason I identify
You started the greatest Rock and Roll band in the World
They grow stronger as the years unfurl
Most Precious Stone I dont know what to say
Its a shame youre not still here today.
Im sure I have suitable music for these words, my musical concept for it has changed. I hope you enjoy this. Bernard

A wish I have is to see Brian on the cover of Rolling Stone again for his 50th anniversary,just like in 1969.It would be nice to see a positive story about him and his influence on Everyone who came after him..Im really sure hes better known than we even realize,as I found out here in New York City a long time ago. Theres a program on the local "classic rock" station every sunday night Called "little Steven's Underground Garage" which plays some great rock and roll and he always pays tribute to Brian for his birthday every year..He was the only Rolling Stone featured in a film about the history of Rock and Roll in the Rock and Roll hall of fame annex in New York,when it existed a few years ago..Id also like to thank Roxanne Fontana for her friendship,and all she has done for Brian,and for allowing me to play on one of her songs in 1980. She gave me a lot of faith and confidence,and I did the best I could for her.It would be great if SHE could write the article about Brian. Her fan club still exists,I found it recently,although I dont know whos running it..Well, Ill just have to go to Strawberry Fields and light a candle for him on his birthday..Hope you all are well, warm and secure. God Bless and Jajouka, Bernard

Also in the magazine (but not online), a neat one page article on the Rev Robert Wilkins which contained the story of his song 'No Way To Get Along' which was hijacked by the Twins and became 'Prodigal Son' and how he only got songwriting credit after legal action was taken.
The magazine should still be on the newsstands for those who wish to purchase it, Issue 811 March 2012.

Has anyone seen photos of the Stones (with Brian) dressed up in any sort of costumes for Halloween? Saw my first Stones concert in 1965 (at Symphony Hall in Newark NJ) and in all that time, I've never seen a picture of the Stones in costume (Other than those 'Have You Seen Your Mother Baby' drag outfits)
Happy H. to all.

- Klein called a "scumbag", again! -- Lazlo, 15:30:21 01/30/12 Mon (adsl-99-153-142-132.dsl.wlfrct.sbcglobal.net/99.153.142.132)
Saw this article in the paper the other day, just got around to finding it online
"It’s enough to make Mrs. Brown blush.
The squeaky clean front man of the ’60s band Herman’s Hermits testified yesterday that he repeatedly used a vulgarity to publicly blast the late, New York-based music mogul Allen Klein in interviews and Web postings.
Former pop star Peter Noone, 64, who claims his “British Invasion” group is owed more than $500,000 in royalties by Klein’s record label, admitted under cross-examination that he had “probably” referred to the record exec and his family as “scumbags.”
A lawyer for ABKCO Music & Records tried to keep jurors from hearing the epithet, saying that the “Mrs. Brown, You’ve Got a Lovely Daughter” singer had used words that were “completely inappropriate to repeat.”
But Manhattan federal Judge William Pauley III ruled that “there is no word that is inappropriate to use in this courtroom.”

- It took me 10 pages to find you! -- Bernard, 20:09:07 01/30/12 Mon (108.sub-166-248-0.myvzw.com/166.248.0.108)
I had been looking for the LARS board for a few days until I took the Time to go through 10 pages of Brian Jones', including our Brian. I like the clean new look. Somehow Stones fans still find me on My Space,and are quite nice. Im even getting more plays, I dont know what to say except I found a Diatribe by Keith, Mick and Charlie which is new while I was looking for this where they all put him down really badly. I found it disgusting to say the least. its a sin to talk badly about the dead, especially when they have been good for you..Well I definitely am now through with them, and will never stand up for them again, Theyre just 3 bitter ugly mean old men. And what are they going to do this year? That same old oldies act I saw them do a few years ago with all the old men in the audience smoking skunkweed and singing woowoo to "Sympathy"? Theyve played those songs so many times,its quite obvious they dont care how bad they sound...I cant have any more disrespect for them than I already do.Even I wouldnt do my old songs anymore for fear of insulting my friends, while I continue to compose in the hope someday I will have the band I always wanted.even just a trio. I just want to be like Chuck Berry and continue playing. I feel really good and grateful for all I have and for all the problems Ive finally been able to solve. I hope you are all well and in good spirits and you are right, Lazlo, Klein and his family are scumbags,thats why I was going to tear him apart when I was 19..which Im glad I didnt. Im glad this still exists. God Bless you and yours...Joujouka, Bernard

- The 50th anniversary -- Bernard, 18:55:47 01/12/12 Thu (207.sub-166-248-0.myvzw.com/166.248.0.207)
Now that its 2012 and the 50th anniversary of Brian forming the band,i find it depressing that the Stones are just pushing their "Some Girls" reissue, and on their my space site the only pictures are of the 4 of them, and everything about these promotions done by "Universal Strategic Marketing" is just so flashy and sickening. I feel like they think that Fans who actually remember Brian are not going to notice, or maybe they are still trying to cover up what they once were. A lot of people I mention Brian To Dont know who he is. Now most likely, later in the year therell be a new album, and a huge tour, and we'll see and hear Them until we are sick of it. What lies beyond? Ive had very mixed emotions about them ever since something inside of me clicked with Brian. He was the first one I remember noticing when I was 13, and when I became a real fan,he became my favorite. im not going to go crazy over this but I just think its a real shame. they just seem relentless and empty to me, devoid of any love other than narcicissm and ego. Im just going to delete them from my site and stick with all of you. Its a lot warmer and more comfortable. Love, bernard

- Ghost Story, -- F.G.W.M. (Celebrity Ghost Stories), 19:51:51 12/27/11 Tue (NoHost/76.251.187.111)
I just watched an episode of a cable television show called "Celebrity Ghost Storries" on U-Tube,It has "so called" celebrities telling chilling stories of encounters with ghosts. One episode featured Donovan Leitch's son telling a creepy story of buying an very old house in Woodstock New York, that was extremely Haunted,with regular ghostly happenings. He said there was a swimming pool in the back, and and he did some remodeling on the property and they dug up the ground near the pool and found the coffin of the origional owner. When the moved the body to a nearby cemetery all the ghostly hauntings ceased. Didn't Donovan get Married to Linda Lawrence, the mother of one or Brians children,and adopt Brians son? This would be fascinating.

- Reply to Mock Jogger from another thread -- Lazlo, 12:21:59 10/19/11 Wed (miintdef.sbc.com/144.160.5.25)
This is a reply to a post from July. I thought it would be a good idea that I would post this reply in a new thread since the thread it was originally in drifted way off topic.
I think that there are many good discussion points from Mock's post to kick around, I mean, what is a Brian Jones message board without a hearty death discussion, right folks?
The post I'm replying to casn be found here:
http://www.voy.com/30551/5561.html
Here we go. First of all, I'd like to say it is good to see you back here again Mr. Jogger. You made many good points and I'd like to make some comments and observations on some of them.
I'd also like to add that I'm going on the premise that what the person who commented on Sam Cutler's blog in regards to Louisa Jones, is true, so humor me folks.
"It's highly likely Brian's parents were exposed to pressure after his death. Close relatives and friends of victims of accidents or criminal actions usually want to know EXACTLY what happened and WHO is responsible (or whom they can make responsible)"
Putting myself in Brian's parents shoes, I'd want to know EXACTLY what happened, and who, when, etc. It seems to me that they willingly accepted the misadventure verdict, as it seemed plausible at the time, so perhaps there was no need to lean on them until later on.
"and in case they don't get the support of the authorities they want they go public and display an impressive energy in the process. (I could write down a lot of prominent examples, but I guess nobody would deny this anyway.)"
I'd have to say that it certainly more the case nowadays as opposed to 1969 when there were not as many media outlets for one to vent their outrage at injustices. Look at what Scott Jones did with Brian's story - he got it out there world frickin' wide. Can you imagine how much pressure Sussex could have felt if Brian's family and the media kept pushing at this and keeping Sussex under the world magnifying glass? Granted, I don't think that would have been possible in 1969 for Brian's family to grab ahold of the media and scream injustice, especially if they hadn't realized there was one.
As far as Brian's parents finding out about their son being murdered, I'd guess that realization didn't come to them until well after Brian was buried, possibly years after.
"The way Keylock took control over Brian's possessions and over the funeral was certainly a way to frighten his parents - people who lived a reserved home life and were not used to criminal characters"
If the following picture doesn't illustrate your point Mock, then nothing does.
Not much to say after seeing that pic. Brian's family is completely surrounded by what most likely, are the people directly responsible for his death. At minimum, I count 5 people who had to have known exactly how Brian died, and I'd go as far to say that probably all 5 of them were there when Brian was killed. Especially Tom Keylock, who I personally believe to be one of Brian's killers.
Here's another funeral pic I'll throw in here
The guy on the left is one of the builders, who can be seen standing behind Barbara and to the right of Frank over the grave in the previous picture. Check out the face on Shirley Watts and others (Astrid Lundstrom can be seen at far right) glaring at this guy, who looks guilty as sin. Why would something like this scene take place if Brian had died accidentally? Are they mad at him for doing shoddy work at Cotchford? Why would Charlie and Bill's ladies be ticked off by someone by someone they most likely never had met and who supposedly wasn't even at the scene of Brian's death? Unless he was.
I'll stop here, hopefully get some feedback for now and in a week or two, I'll reply more to Mock's post in regard to Sam Cutler's blog.

I could not help but notice Brian and The Stones' Influence On Baby Boomer Rockers In the New York Rock Scene When I was just a teenager. I met many rockers that Loved Brian, just as I do..People Like DeeDee Ramone seem to be Influenced by him,as well as a lot of Bands I heard since 1972..It wouldnt surprise me if David Bowie also is.Even when I was Blond, people used to say "Are You Playing With Jagger?"Id love to hear what Brian's solo work was like..One of the first things Roxanne told me about was these recordings. One of them was called "Have a Cup Of Tea" which was like The Beatles "You Know My Name" that Brian Played on.Brian Lives on through his Children and fans. I hope The Rolling Stones will pay tribute to him this year. Even Mick Jagger once called him a Blond Angel. i hope Keith will get himself together and stop tearing him apart for things he did himself. Even Ron Wood had a Brian Page I saw once on the Internet so Id like to be the first to call Brian "The King Of Rock and Roll"which I am sure he is in our hearts. Peace and Love, "Crazy Bernard" as they used to call me in CBGB.

- Have a healthy, Happy and Prosperous 2012 -- Bernard, 12:31:25 01/02/12 Mon (138.sub-166-248-1.myvzw.com/166.248.1.138)
I just want to wish everyone here the best new year. I know why I love Brian so much. He has always represented some kind of tragic glamor to me, and I once had a space in my teeth like him. We have the same Initials, BJ..And I identify with his problems and ultimate Rejection by The Stones and their business people.. Its like the line in "Jigsaw Puzzle" "The Guitar Players Look Damaged, Theyve Been Outcasts all their Lives"..which I can identify with the older I become..I also ID with his paranoia and talent, of which he certainly had more than me. And after all these years I still identify with him and love Him. I also Identify with you and love you as well. There is no witchcraft, just a horrible voice which can annoy me, which fortunately enough Isnt bothering me today..Im such a "Crispy Critter" Even Keith thinks he hears his father talking to him, and I cant imagine what his mind is really like. So lets hope we get to hear a lot not only about the Stones, but Brian this year and I intend to buy some of those early stones reissues which I have seen. God Bless and Joujouka, b-

I would appreciate it greatly if you would visit my my space page. There I have some songs that are available to be downloaded for free. I think you will see Brians Influence in my music as I try to do what I thought he would do had he lived. Just Go To My space.com and look up Bernard James Mc Dermott. if you do I hope you will enjoy it. There is a story there about me and all the witchcraft that was done on me, which God has ended for me..Thats where all that Insanity was coming from. I am glad to have survived and to be alive as well, maybe this music will brighten up your new year. Peace and Love, Bernard

- Something I found out about Brian -- Bernard James Mc Dermott (Shocked), 17:36:44 12/07/11 Wed (54.sub-75-198-217.myvzw.com/75.198.217.54)
I was once in contact with Brian, but I had forgot because I hadnt heard from him in a long time. He was only in Cheltenham where his museum is. There was a terrible warlock inside me called Loughlin Since 1971 because of another terrible warlock named Axel who bewitched me, This I why I went Insane and forgot this temporarily. Brian has follwed me around sice 1973 when I found him in a Book about The Rolling Stones and used to look at pictures of them and call them my babies and cry over them. I nearly killed Allen Klein over this. Anyway, Brian Is The Most Benevolent spirit on earth. He Is Most favored by King Henry the 8th who also loves me because of Brian, as he is the head of the Church Of England and has made me Church of England also. It is Brian who has helped me to write the best music I possibly could since I was 22 years old and supposedly recovered. It took until today for me to sort this out as I had to do a form of Irish witchcraft This Loughlin actually taught me as some kind of a joke which actually worked to end his and Axels spells which freed all the dead rockstars, friends and relatives to discombobulate them. Brian wants you to know that you also can contact him very easily as he loves you very much. All you have to do is ask him and He will tell you all about him because he loves the LARS Board over all the Brian boards and is actually there in Heaven with Gerry and both of them will talk with you if you ask them. By the way, Brian wants you to know he wasnt murdered, he just fell in the wrong end of the swimming pool as he was drunk and this caused a contusion in his skull which was so bad it killed him. So just do as I say, and you will see what I mean. Love, Peace And Understanding, Bernard James Mc Dermott
