Keith Richards and Bob Dylan have had their problems in the past, but they appreciated each other musically. Dylan has spoken highly of The Rolling Stones, and Richards acknowledged how influential Dylan was. He said that Dylan changed the world of songwriting and managed to express himself beautifully, all without having a particularly good singing voice.

Richards said that while writing with Mick Jagger, they occasionally decided to go forward with lyrics if it seemed like Paul McCartney and John Lennon would have written something similar.
“The fact that you could get that kind of tasty bite into the lyrics by mixing in contemporary stories or headlines or just what appeared to be mundane daily narrative was so far away from pop music and also from Cole Porter or Hoagy Carmichael,...

In the 1960s, Bob Dylan was spending time with The Rolling Stones when he said something that infuriated Keith Richards. Dylan, like the Stones, was reaching new levels of success, and those who knew him said he didn’t handle fame well. Typically, people worried about disagreeing with Dylan, but Richards and his bandmate Brian Jones didn’t have this problem.

In 1966, Dylan hired Tom Keylock, a chauffeur who worked extensively with The Rolling Stones, to accompany him on tour. While in London, Dylan met the band at a popular nightclub.
“Dolly’s Club was like a meeting place for a lot of musicians at the time,” Keylock said in an interview. “That was the first time I remember the Stones meeting up with Bob Dylan. I was, in fact, minding Dylan on this tour,...

Even for obsessive Rolling Stones fans, the story of founding guitarist Brian Jones’ death nearly 51 years ago has been so clouded with misinformation, controversy and battling agendas that at a certain point one just gives up wondering. An asthmatic with a long history of substance abuse, he drowned in the pool of his lovely home on July 3, 1969, at the age of 27 — just weeks after being ejected from the Stones. While his death was officially ruled misadventure by the coroner, there is little clarity about who was present at the time, what their motives were, and where exactly he drowned.
While “Rolling Stone: Life and Death of Brian Jones” repeats much well-established information — and was clearly made without the cooperation of the Stones’ organization — it goes a long way toward clarifying the incident and presents reasonably convincing evidence that Jones was, if not murdered, then killed in an incident of manslaughter.
