I always wondered what really happened to Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones. His official cause of death was drowning while under the influence of lots'o'drugs but this new film from Stephen Woolley, Stoned, posits another option: murder. Power grafs from The Telegraph of London:
A new film about Brian Jones suggests that the Rolling Stone's mysterious death in 1969 may in fact have been murder - and explores a dark collision of cultures that lay beneath the surface of the carefree '60s. Its director talks to Robert Sandall
It remains one of the great whodunnits - or whodunwhats - of the 1960s. On the night of July 3 1969, Rolling Stone Brian Jones was found face-down in the swimming pool of his home, Cotchford Farm in Sussex. An inquest recorded death by misadventure, "drowning while under the influence of drink and drugs".
It looks interesting, although I don't think it will open here in Raleigh.
