brian jones - really?

I listened to the one on The Yardbirds' "For Your Love" and learned some things I'd never heard before. Subscribed.

urgh that Brian Jones story... I never liked him in general, I always found him lame and creepy, and regarding their music, I much prefer the Beggars/Exile years to the early years (although I enjoy some tracks).
But thanks for the podcast : it seems great indeed !

Glad you all like 500 Songs, thought Andrew was ILM-adjacent, even if I've never seen him on here he seems to be in the same circles on Twitter.

You can thank him to recorder on Rub yTuesday!

He is popping up mischevioiusly everywhere playing odd instruments!

Saw this (theatre) this afternoon:

Some good footage of '64-65 hysteria (e.g., a riot at an Australian airport), but don't know that I learned a whole lot I didn't more or less already know. Only the second or third Nick Broomfield film I've seen (saw his Sarah Palin film for sure; maybe one other?). His manner is so annoying--thankfully not much of him here, although he starts with an odd introduction to the film, some of which is repeated in the film proper.

igh i think i’ll pass
i cannot stand Broomfield

I hear you. (I think he does too--probably no more than five minutes of him in voiceover.)

even if he was never on camera, at this point even his mere existence annoys the shit out of me

The amount of time given to Bill Wyman will be a big problem for some people (10-15 minutes). He plays some old stuff of his computer, points out (with delight and amazement) Jones's contribution. As someone who, as much as humanly possible, tuned out on the Rolling Stones 35 years ago, I was kind of shocked by something that wouldn't surprise anyone who continued to pay attention: this old grey-haired man is Bill Wyman? The version of him that I carry in my head goes back to 1975.

Here's Bill from a couple of days ago, signing for fans at a modest table-for-one in a specialty foods grocery store (the baked goods counter seems to be behind him):

Love it though, he really doesn't miss the life the Stones are leading now.

A Wyman clip from the film:

I'm pretty sure I've seen that guy playing euchre at the community center in town.

It's funny how his desk looks exactly like my parents' desk, from the printer he's using to the small department store picture frames to the small office supply holder with the standard orange-handle scissors. (FWIW, my parents hate rock music and never took part in that side of the culture.)

Looks like a nice friendly old paedophile.
