I know there are some music aficionados here, so I thought some of you might be interested in this:
If you are any kind of Rock and Roll or Rolling Stones fan, here is the birth of a Legend that changed music for all time:
In 1962, Brian Jones, the founder of the Rolling Stones, ran this ad in an issue of the local Jazz News Magazine in the UK looking for other musicians to form a new rhythm and blues band he was putting together which he eventually named as The Rolling Stones. This ad was the start and creation of The Rolling Stones, which set the tempo for the next decade that included the whole British Invasion and Merseybeat that included the Beatles and a whole host of other British musicians and bands to follow.
Seven years later, due to deterioration within the band largely due to drugs and alcohol, Jones was let go from the band that he created, along the way also playing with The Beatles and Jimi Hendrix, among others. Just a month later after leaving The Rolling Stones, at the age of 27, he was found dead in his backyard swimming pool from an apparent drowning.
But one could say that both The Rolling Stones and the entire British Invasion of the 1960s began with this single ad, and I thought I would now share it here with you.
