Once, in the 1960s, when The Rolling Stones guitarists Keith Richards and Brian Jones were living in a flat together in London, a British Army drop-out became so enamoured of Jones that he would do his every bidding, including foregoing his overcoat on a freezing winter night. Jones used to treat him like dirt, till things came to a head one day. The musician returned home to find the Army guy asleep on his bed. The room had guitar cables lying all around, and Jones got so angry that he picked one up, woke his sleeping guest up, and told him, “This end is plugged in, baby, and I’m comin’ after ya.” The petrified fellow ran out of the room and into the snow in his underpants, screaming, “They’re electrocuting me, they’re electrocuting me.” He left the next day, to never come back again. Those are the glorious insights into the band’s life that you will glean from The Mammoth Book of The Rolling Stones [Robinson], an anthology of articles published on the outfit.
