Brian Jones hits at latest smear on stars

“Last week a prominent national newspaper columnist made a blistering attack on pop singers by criticising them for the way they live their lives.

The "Daily Telegraph’s” Peter Simple, who was having a go at Minister of Defence, Mr Denis Healy, wound up by referring to “SUCH UNDESIRABLE RIFF-RAFF AS POP SINGERS… They are admired for living as ostentatiously as they please”.

Hardly a fair comment from a journalist who must be as out of touch with pop as a monk in a monastery. It’s a hard grind earning a living as a pop star. Life’s not all a bowl of cherries. And if some artists manage to make enough (bread?) out of it to live in luxury, buy flashy cars and take exotic holidays good luck to them!

Asked for his opinion on this criticism of high living and general behaviour, Brian Jones - one who has had a fair share of knocks as a member of the controversial Rolling Stones - said:

“I don’t know that the public admires pop stars for living ostentatiously. The national Press do. They’re all for photographing our homes, or the Beatles at premieres or first nights. As for myself, the Stones have been described as "riff-raff” and much worse for three or four years now.

“It just doesn’t bother me. It rolls off my back. Anyway, if some of the public do think this way - there’s alwas the other part that doesn’t! I suppose I’m scruffy and dirty. The difference is that I’ll admit it now - whereas I wouldn’t three or four years ago.

"I lead a scruffy, disorganised life anyway. There are always things happening - but I feel disorganised. I’m afraid I don’t worry about convention or society.”

Mick Jagger and Brian have been mentioned in the society columns of newspapers. But he wasn’t sure it was a good thing.

“It’s flattering, of course. But the fans dont like it, I’m certain. I would rather be labelled riff-raff!”

The Stones, he concluded, had always been in a unique position in showbiz. Their whole image bad been built on a lack of convention.
