  • neither man was a role model. they were both drug addicts, and many things have been said about jones, too (e.g. that he was violent and beat up his girlfriends).

    but WSB never had a reputation for being violent. true, he loved boys (adult boys as far as i know), and he may have had sex with consenting young men, but raping a boy, i strongly doubt he did that. i suspect those who said so (i'm shocked to hear brian is among them) are either uninformed or are trying to smear WSB's memory.

  • Burroughs never "raped" little boys. He would have been killed on the spot. There's no evidence that William ever did anything so vile. True, Burroughs was an ephebephiliac--meaning he preferred the sexual company of young men, but raping children--never.

  • Genius ! No wonder the beatles loves him...

  • @afterbabel WSB never had a reputation for being violent? He shot his wife in the head.

  • The mainstream will always try to shit on the reputation of great thinkers like Burroughs.

  • Bizarrice pura!!!

  • This is the strangest most amazing beautiful music... very ancient...

  • I'm a Brian Jones fanatic...and in love with Moroccan music!

  • Brian Jones - Lewis Brian Hopkin Jones (28 February 1942 -- FOREVER)

  • This is truly amazing. Burroughs was always years ahead of the rest of us so I guess the kind of things he did would have no meaning to rest of us. Brian Jones was a flaming star who also liked young people; he believed it liberated their sexuality in a way society frowned upon - a repressive society. The Beats influenced the Sixties generation in a way that verged on veneration - its only natural that one of their leading lights should so influence an accolyte.

  • never die
