Look for Mojo Magazine's February 2025 issue on The Rolling Stones, including A Man of Wealth and Taste -- The Brian Jones Companion CD!

Deleted scene from Stoned, the 2005 biopic of Rolling Stones' founder, Brian Jones. I go back and forth on the movie; I wasn't really sure what it was trying to say. As so often happens, the deleted scenes on the DVD serve to clarify a few things for me. Here we see schoolboy Brian choosing music (not to mention girls) over more traditional manly activities such as competitive sports. This foreshadows the conflict Brian finds himself in yet again at the end of his life (whether you believe certain conspiracy theories or not, that is entirely up to you). Anyway, if you do check the film out, I definitely recommend including the deleted scenes in your viewing. And I do at least applaud Stoned for recognizing that Brian Jones' life and style can't possibly be contained in tired "Behind the Music" tropes. :)

Awhile back I had posted a grainy version of this footage from the VHS "The Rolling Stones Unauthorised Biography," https://youtu.be/B5eJ06bLnnA. I recently found this much clearer version in the Bill Wyman documentary The Quiet One (available to buy or rent on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndn6XaWNEvk).

This moment has stuck with me my entire life. You didn't see this sentiment too often in film until the 1960s:

"Just because you can't understand something...it doesn't mean it's wrong! You make all the rules and no one else can say anything!"--Arthur in The Sword in the Stone (1963)

Those who have given the most funding to Donald Trump. You will not be getting my business again. https://www.stephens.edu/files/resources/increase-your-awareness-of-where-your-money-goes.pdf

Every last one of these companies and their affiliates have just lost my business. And believe me, I know how to do my research. Enjoy your new economy, MAGAs, lolol.

Hey MAGAs, Trump can't run again. He has absolutely no reason to work for you now. Good luck. 🤣

"I frankly don't give a f*ck how it all turns out in this country, or anywhere else for that matter. I think the human game was up a long time ago....And that is of course precisely what I find so amusing. The slow circle of the drain by a once promising species. And the sappy, ever more desperate belief in this country that there is actually some sort of American dream which has merely been misplaced."--George Carlin

Performance of The Who's Tommy at the 1993 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I remember watching this on TV as a kid, it was my first introduction to the classic album.

Performance of Broadway's My Fair Lady at the 1993 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. My family took me to see this production as a kid, and I remember watching the parade segment on TV. Mom and I spent all Christmas singing this song. :)
