 Everyone
knows the story of the Stones. The legendary British band was formed by
Brian Jones in the early sixties, with Mick Jagger as singer, Keith Richard
as lead guitar, Bill Wyman on bass, and Charlie Watts as drummer.Named
after an old Muddy Waters blues song, their raw power and bad-boy image
made them one of the worlds most popular rock-groups. Unfortunately the
Rock and Roll lifestyle took its toll on Brian Jones, who sank deep into
drug and alcohol dependacy. Eventually he had to leave the band he had
created, and shortly afterwards was found dead one night in his swimming
pool under mysterious circumstances. At least that is the official story
that has remained unchallenged until now. |

| The
truth is even weirder. It seems that in his careless experimentation with
ever more exotic drugs, Brian Jones became addicted to the hallucinogenic
effects of a particularly rare kind of garden mushroom. Unfortunately this
drug had devastating side effects. The real reason Jones left the stones
was that he was slowly but irreversibly changing into a Garden Gnome. At
a time when members of pop groups dared not even admit to being married
for fear of offending girl fans, the idea of a Gnome pop-star was unthinkable.
Jones withdrew from public life and his death was faked. He lived thereafter
on a secluded country estate as a rich recluse using the vast Rolling Stones
profits that he still shared.
This
monumental cover-up might have remained a secret except for the picture
above, snapped in 1999 by an off-duty reporter from Gnome Web, which clearly
shows Brian Jones (now known as Brian Gnomes) tempted from retirement to
jam briefly with the Stones on a recent tour. Press officers for the Stones
refused to comment on these conspiracy allegations, saying that the identity
of the 'guest' guitarist was unknown.
