Happy 68th Brian Jones (28 February 1942 – 3 July 1969)R.I.P.
Brian Jones was an English musician and founding member of The Rolling Stones. Jones was a gifted multi-instrumentalist and arguably one of the first English rhythm and blues pioneers from the early 1960's to employ the use of non-traditional instruments such as the sitar, experiment with the slide guitar, and to integrate other genres, including jazz and psychedelic rock in his musical compositions. Throughout his tenure in the Rolling Stones he maintained an inventiveness that saw the emergence of the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus and other such inventions. Jones is also remembered for cultivating his image with flamboyant attire and a lifestyle that included recreational drug use during the dawn of a new youth culture that centered around "sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll"..."lay back and groove".
