I still remember when that article first came out. I was kinda shocked.
As I wrote in another thread some days ago I met Beyle a year or so later and asked him about his Stones connections. While he was not really your RocknRoll guy he knew alot of what was going on around the Stones. Bravo was a Teen mag, so he could only write small parts of what really happened.
In those years as a fan you didn't have the knowledge like today with net, etc. I remember having felt very down after he told me some inside stories.

It was me who posted the Bravo article on Facebook. It was in German, but I got it translated into English, Spanish and Portugese ( because the BJFF Community page on FB has a lot of SPanish and Portuegese members).
Glad FB has done something good for a change! LOL
Here is a polaroid I purchased that belonged to Linda Keith. I believe it was taken in Ceylon (Sri Lanka) in '68.
Lots of love

Thomas Beyl?? there are some photos of him with Keith and some dogs on the steps of Nellcote.
when the shots were posted on Rocks Off people figured he was a drug runner or something like that -
live & learn, eh?
thanks for unearthing this, HM! and for making it accessible to us nonfacebook tykesQuote

well, two years earlier was spring/summer of 1967, so the Anita Situation probably had something to do with it.
Keith most likely wouldn't have been the right person to talk Brian into or out of anything at that point
love & light to Brian

Interesting to read Brian saying he wanted to leave two years earlier though. Read people speculate about it here, but never read it from the man himself.
Weird to think the original Rolling Stones might have ended in 1967... I'm glad he stuck with it because we got more ace music, but I also wonder whether he made the right choice... His last 2 years as a Rolling Stone seem so painful.

Palace, I think those comments were talking points only supporting
the "official" version of events.
It seems Brian preferred the earliest things the band put down;
"Little Red Rooster", "King Bee" and "Money" ... the tough bluesy
stuff. Didn't care for Berry as Keith and Mick, but went along.
He probably thought the ballads were pure bilge. Of course, the
guy was a walking puzzle and frequently contradicted himself.
That's why many of us are still puzzled over his general lack
of enthusiasm for the newer stuff in '68. That's what drugs do ...
... but the real problem was his love life and The Glimmer's hold
on the music. Those two issues informed the later events.

The recent unearthed radio interviews from January 1968 show he was enthused by a return to more earthy music. It seems that the problem, or atleast one of many problems, as you point out, was more to do with who was writing the songs.
