Sunday Times today has an article disputing MJs account of inspiration for the Tongue Logo. They report claim by American artist Sid Maurer now 88 years old that he introduced Brian J to one of his paintings and that inspired the logo.
Will a clever person copy the article here please.
Also mentions new book - Sympathy for the Devil-The Birth of the Rolling Stones and the Death of Brian Jones.Author Paul Trynka.
