July 1999: Swedish Girlfriend Claims Stones' Jones Murdered STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - A Swedish woman who found Rolling Stones star Brian Jones drowned in his own swimming pool has said she believes the guitarist was murdered. Anna Wohlin, who was Jones's girlfriend at the time of his death 30 years ago, has broken her years of silence with a new book, 'The Murder of Brian Jones,' published this week. Wohlin, now 53, told Swedish newspaper Expressen it had taken her this long to be able to talk about the night of July 3, 1969, when she found 27-year-old Jones' dead in the pool at his luxury farmhouse in Hartfield, England.
'It hurt so much and went so deep. It was as if it had not happened to me,' Wohlin said in the interview. 'I was in such shock that I was sick. Then I repressed it -- I got married.' A verdict of misadventure was recorded at the inquest into Jones's death, which happened a month after he quit the Rolling Stones. He was believed to have been swimming while under the influence of drink and drugs. But Wohlin, who now runs a woman's clothes shop in Stockholm, insists that by the time of his death Jones had stopped using hard drugs and had cut back on his drinking. She claims builder Frank Thorogood, now also dead, killed Jones in a dispute over money. Thorogood was doing some work for Jones at his farm. This theory gained credibility in 1994 when a recording of an alleged death bed confession by Thorogood came to light. Police briefly re-opened the investigation but with no progress. Wohlin said she decided after her divorce recently to write down her version of Jones's death. 'I felt that I wanted to tell what really happened, mainly for the sake of his son and his closest friends who also believed that he died when he was on drugs. That wasn't true. I knew what was going on,' she said.

Interesting ....I think Brian Jones was the true talent behind the Stones and not Sir Mick or Keith Richards. But history makes it look like Jones was just a rythm guitarist.....who could be replaced by a child, Mick Taylor was not much more than a teen. And whatever happened to him?
For many people, they only know Ron Wood as the other guitarist....it takes the older folks to remember Brian.

That's interesting, Rita. I didn't realized that Mick Taylor was replaced by Ron Wood. I'm not much of a Stones fan

Sorry for the disappearance. My computer rolled over and died. Plus we moved. So with all of that, I haven't been around. Now I've got a bunch of catching up to do. Since I was last here Paul and what's her name are kaput, and Paul is about to turn 64. Anyone feel like something BIG is going to happen next?

I do feel that something BIG is coming, but as to the date, it's hard to speculate. Usually "BIG" things happen according to numbers and occult days because the "system" plays according to occultic numbers and witches sabbats.
Something is in the air, just a strange sense.

He thought "Satanic Majesty's Request" was a cheap take off on Sgt Pepper. Why was his band putting out psychedelic garbage? A very talented musician and bright young man with an exceptionally high IQ , no doubt Brian was done in by the politics of the time, not by an accident.

Maybe JPM had planned to go to India with George in Sept. 66?

It was years later that the forum admin. did that. When Lucy first typed it, she typed "nirvana". This is a perfect example of how crazy it has become over at TKIN I know that Paul went to India with George sometime in 1965 or 1966. However, I don't know any details.

[/quote] [/quote] And are they troubadors or bullfighters? Perhaps they stopped in Spain before they arrived to Bombay....? But something I remember my oldest brother telling me that Anita Pallenberg, a girlfriend of Keith Richards was a practicing witch. He also read that Brian had dabbled in witchcraft as well. Also noticing the quite obvious height differences of the Beatles and now short Ringo really was to the others.

They were all troubadours (well, maybe not Ringo), regardless of any photo-shoot costumes.

Was Dylan planning to go to India before he had his accident?

A reminder of what was going on sociopolitically in 1966:
1) Key mid-term congressional elections in November 1966, which the Republicans needed to win big to overcome their huge 1960-64 presidential and congressional losses, and they did win big, with sweeping victories (though still not House/Senate majorities) that would help propel Nixon to victory in 1968, a previously unimaginable scenario.
2) VIETNAM VIETNAM VIETNAM ---the Vietnam war was escalating and it was becoming clear to most Americans that it was a hopeless quagmire and immoral cause. There was increasing unrest on campus over the war and the draft, a new thing in America where there had historically been little activism at universities. But the power elite were determined to keep their war/occupation going at any cost, maybe even risking rumors of a few "different looking imposters" or "suspicious deaths"? Maybe helping keep the young docile and enriching the South Vietnam regime by flooding them with drugs, and starting a groovy Faulerrific druggie music counterculture spinning on their record players, TVs and radios?
