"As we say in England, it can get a bit trainspottery"
I was lucky when I was a kid that, for the most part, my parents liked much of the music that I enjoyed. My mom's deal with me going to concerts prior to me getting my drivers license, was that she would drive me (within reason) just about anywhere in New England for the concert as long as I paid for her ticket to the show. I forget how many shows she went to with me. Funny now when she reminisces about my childhood (she's 75 & I'm 47), she frequently mentions missing the times when I took her to see concerts!

That was a great moment. If I remember correctly, he was with Beck and one of the guys from the Foo Fighters and they were laughing their a$$es off about it.

Brian Jones is not that famous. Jagger is obviously very famous and Richards while a notch below is famous. But I wouldn't be surprised if someone didn't know who Brian Jones was. I have 8 brother and sisters who grew up in the 60s and 70s and i would bet that some of them have no idea who Brian Jones was.
I also liked his line to Hawkins & Beck to the effect of: "We need another hit" and one of them replies with "next year". Too funny and all the more reason for me to like all three a little bit more.
Peace,
Mr DJA
Not bad...my deal with my parents was (starting at age 13) they would take me or pick me up from a concert as long as my friends parents drove us the opposite way. My parents were not into rock n roll but I had them take me to one show because I wanted them to experience it. When I returned to school, several people came up to me and said....hey, we saw you at the show (the Youngbloods) at the Santa Monica Civic, I can't believe you went with your parents! They really stood out, dressing like they were going to a Broadway play, I tried to convince my Dad to dress like he was going to do work around the house on the weekend
That's great! My daughter was wanting to wear a Stones shirt years ago and I told her she had to be able to name a favorite album and why. She thought for a moment and answered, "Either 'Let It Bleed' because it starts with 'Gimme Shelter' and ends with 'Can't Always Get What You Want' or 'Sticky Fingers' because of "Brown Sugar, Bitch" (Last line spoken with exactly the vocal inflection that you're probably imagining). I was so proud of her that I took her to breakfast before taking her to school that day. And yes, I did tell her that she wasn't allowed to use the second answer with any of her teachers. When she got home that night I asked her if she had gotten any comments on her shirt. She said, "yeah. Some dumba$$ football player thought that he was a fan because he got 'Licks' as a Christmas present." Such a good girl.

Olly.
Im a student at university at the moment and last year during a class a girl asked who was on my shirt.
"It's Keith Richards"
"Who's that"
"Of the rolling stones"
"Who are they"
At this point I politely gave up. This girl had said in one of our earlier classes that she really liked old bands as well
I think generally my generation wouldn't know a good song if they heard one because they haven't had a chance to hear many of them. The standards have really declined.
you really need to get out more.
Yikes! 50 Shades of Rockeee... You'll be getting those damn beads again next.
By "older bands" she probably meant the Backstreet Boys haha
We're of a similar age and to be honest I knew who they were vaguely but until I was about 17 I couldn't have named all the Rolling Stones individually, or even told you how many there were. I am naturally inclined towards older music and it took me a while to work my way back to the 60s but I got there eventually. It's a shame not everyone has good music taste but I'm sure it was the same in the 60s (see "sugar sugar" or "my boyfriend's back" )

I thought the point was not directed at what youth generally know but at the failure of the people who run the town of Cheltenham to teach their children about their heritage. I wouldn't expect young people today to know Brian Jones, or to necessarily like the Stones' music, but it's hard to believe that you can grow up in that town and not know who Brian Jones is.

it's not young peoples job to know information about old music stars in their 70's.
one of the funniest things i've seen in a long time was Paul MCcartney trying to get into a party in los angeles after an awards show.
the doorman said "sorry you can't come in,you're not on the list" his reaction was priceless-"how much more v.i.p. can i get" he sounded like he was gonna cry,then later tried to act like he didn't care of course.
it was great because the big dude at the door was basically saying" i don't know who the fck you are and i don't care"
That was a great moment. If I remember correctly, he was with Beck and one of the guys from the Foo Fighters and they were laughing their a$$es off about it.

Met a kid from Cheltenham. The highly frustrating conversation went as such:
Me: Ah, Cheltenham! The home of Brian Jones!
Kid: Who?
Me: Brian Jones, one of the founders of the Rolling Stones!
Kid: Ah. They aren't a very good band, are they? I mean, are they even still together?
Me: (face palm whilst deciding to smack him upside the head or walk away)
I walked away. My God, the kid doesn't even know one of Cheltenham's most famous offspring. What to do?
Needless to say, it left me 'gobsmacked' and frustrated. I did tell him they are still together and they are VERY GOOD! but he balked and mumble something about someone I had never heard of.
Anyone else ever have these moments? Care to share, hahahah
Brian Jones is not that famous. Jagger is obviously very famous and Richards while a notch below is famous. But I wouldn't be surprised if someone didn't know who Brian Jones was.

Kids are lucky today as there are many avenues to find new music, not just the radio or a couple mags. While not a kid anymore, I'm glad how things are going. There is so much music out there, just gotta dig around.
No matter what age, there are many who have no idea who Brian Jones is.

Today's kidz are just doing the same thing that WE did as kidz - and doubtless our parents before us.
Everything - even music - is cyclical.
Brian WHO?
Oh yeah - he used to deal cocaine back in the early 1980s in Sherwood, Arkansas...

Tell the kid to Google or Wikipedia it. But I bet he wouldn't bother. There's more info than ever that's available, but it doesn't mean anyone is motivated to look at any of it.

That's great! My daughter was wanting to wear a Stones shirt years ago and I told her she had to be able to name a favorite album and why. She thought for a moment and answered, "Either 'Let It Bleed' because it starts with 'Gimme Shelter' and ends with 'Can't Always Get What You Want' or 'Sticky Fingers' because of "Brown Sugar, Bitch" (Last line spoken with exactly the vocal inflection that you're probably imagining). I was so proud of her that I took her to breakfast before taking her to school that day. And yes, I did tell her that she wasn't allowed to use the second answer with any of her teachers.

My son is wearing his Stone's tee now...he wore them to school often and, of course, the only people with any knowledge of the band were the teachers or other staff. He's the only one of my three that took to the Stones. Might have something to do with the fact that his mother left Some Girls and Exile in the player in his car.

The flip: about ten years ago, I was working on a Sat. at a book bindery where the local classic rock station was aired over the shop floor. The owner, a great gentleman in his late seventies/early eighties at the time, was a music fan and we often talked about performers like Artie Shaw and Duke Ellington. Well, the radio station aired Monkey Man and Mr. Bud was aghast, "What is that noise!" Now, I had not thought that a Stones' song could still offend someone who didn't even know the song and very little about the band. We should remember that "The Greatest Rock and Roll Band" is not as well known outside an age range - my students would ask me about my Stones interest and the only connection they could make was the "moves like Jagger" lyric and a few film references, but they were usually the films they saw. Ah well, enjoy our music while we can.
