The Rolling Stones: Sex, Drugs and Rock ‘n’ Roll (Part 1)
Dominic and Tom discuss the rise of one of history’s greatest, sexiest, and most devilish bands; the Rolling Stones, and the glaring light they shed upon the tumultuous 1960s.
What are the origins of Britain’s original bad boys, The Rolling Stones? Where did they all come from and how did they meet? What was it about the 1960s, with its air of sexual liberation, newly Labour government, and rising youth culture that allowed them to burst onto the musical scene? Who was Brian Jones, the troubled and now largely forgotten man who really founded the band? And, what made the Rolling Stones, even from the earliest stages, so much more controversial than their predecessors, The Beatles?
