Stoned by Andrew Loog Oldham
For those expecting an "I know who killed Brian Jones" exposé from
the former manager of The Rolling Stones, don't bother. Instead, this is
a trawl through the early life of the greatest exponent of the
music-hustle these islands have ever produced. Loog Oldham writes with a
poetic sharpness that makes all other attempts to tell the tale of the
Sixties pointless.
