Israel/Zionism See other Israel/Zionism Articles Title: Rock stars who died under suspicious circumstances (I can't get no) satisfactory explanation Brian Jones named the Rolling Stones after Muddy Waters' "Rolling Stone Blues." He also assembled the band, imbuing its tunes with rhythm and blues. Those blues were painted black in 1969 when Jones got fired from the band and died a few weeks afterward. Partly relying on eyewitness testimony, a coroner concluded that Jones drowned in his swimming pool during a drug-fueled "misadventure." However, subsequent statements muddied the waters. Per the BBC, the musician spent his final night alive with girlfriend Anna Wohlin, friend Janet Lawson (who found Jones' body), and builder Frank Thorogood. Lawson recalled that Jones and Thorogood went on an ill-advised "midnight swim" after consuming pills and alcohol. But when she spoke with a private investigator decades later, her version of events evolved. As Rolling Stone recounted, according to Lawson's updated account, Jones and Frank Thorogood had horsed around in the pool around the time Jones died. She "saw Thorogood shaking badly" before seeing Jones' body. In 2005 Anna Wohlin made similar assertions, telling the Independent she thought Thorogood inadvertently killed Jones during "some sort of horseplay." She added that Thorogood made no effort to aid Jones. A 1994 book also accused Thorogood, claiming he confessed on his deathbed to Rolling Stones driver Tom Keylock. In 2009 a former Stones road manager accused Keylock of killing Jones and silencing witnesses with threats. What about the supposed substance abuse? Drugs hardly turned up during the autopsy. Poster Comment: This is a funsy site (thanx, Ada) that doesn't dig all that deeply, but the page exposes much more of rock's evils than even I the great muckraker was aware of. I suspect that Morrison's death was faked, and who could blame him (or Janis or Jimi) for wanting to get off the speeding fame train. They could indeed have mentioned Hendrix among others. An article in Guitar Player or similar mag posited that it was a mob hit over drug turf. Do rock fans care what happened to their god? Sure -- just like Lady Die's.
