THAT’S REAL LOW BROW, DEANO

1950s American crooner Dean Martin attacked the Rolling Stones when they appeared on his Hollywood Palace TV show.

Dean Martin said of the Stones: “Some people have the impression that some of these new groups have long hair. It’s an optical illusion, they just have low foreheads and high eyebrows.’’

BRIAN JONES LEADER OF THE PACK

Guitarist Brian Jones was the band’s founder and leader > not Mick Jagger or Keith Richards, both of whom later became the songwriters for the group. Jones was also their most accomplished and versatile musician.

“The Rolling Stones that I joined were led by Brian Jones. There was no doubt whatsoever who led the group in every way,” Bill Wyman wrote in his autobiography Stone Alone.
