Sheila Klein Oldham from "2Stoned":

"Brian came around to the house towards the end, shortly before he died. He was trying to smoke a cigarette and couldn't find his face. I think Allen had sent him round hoping Andrew could find some way of helping him but we didn't know what to do with him. What he needed was good professional care. I think it all comes down to the fact that we don't have rites of passge and don't know how to have relationships and didn't know then. Interventions and clinics were unknown then. There weren't that many people taking drugs in those days that were in the public eye. The Stones were losing Brian, as they would rid themselves of Allen Klein. Brian, of course, did a good job of eliminating himself. Allen Klein would prove a little trickier."


More from ALO:

"For Brian Jones, there was no going back to the past of clubs, and the blues circuits of the world; in that year of 1969 a return to your roots would have been synonymous with failure. Creedence Clearwater Revival were a good model, both in the reality of Brian's fame and his situation (i.e. his standard of living and breathing needs.) Whether Brian realised it fully or subliminally, he and Fogerty shared not only musical but physical similarities in what they did and how they portrayed themselves. Brian could adopt the front man persona, without competition from a lead singer's diva danceability, to get back to where he'd felt best and wanted to feel again and do it for the growing festivalistic audience who thought of him as a hero and icon. Brian could also have felt he was entitled to find his voice, the one I'd buried in '63 on 'Walking the Dog', and further, was entitled to write his own music and dismiss my opinion that you can't write down to the public--well, not knowingly anyway."
