By commentators I mean those connected to the Stones at the time, however remotely, who come out and voice opinions rather than facts. There were only ever a handful of people in the Stones' inner sanctum who really knew the truth about Brian's decline and exit.
By pure chance I went out with the daughter of the psychiatrist who treated Brian towards the end but obviously he did not want to talk about his former patient.

This is what is so sad: that all the people outside of the band; the ones who would be able to have a more objective view of Brian WITHIN the Stones, are all gone. Michael Cooper, Tara Browne, Spanish Tony, A. Korner.
I do think Bill Wyman seemed to be close to Brian. Just read his second book again. He speaks of Brian a good bit; there is a lot about the Big 3 (Mick, Keith, ALO) vs. Brian, seen from his POV.
Just want to add - were I to want to write something on Brian nowadays; maybe try to find some insight - Bill Wyman would be the one I talk to. Wyman is really getting up there.

The older Stones books have considerable value because people's memories were fresher then and also because of the availability of some of those interviewed, eg Stu.

Mandy Aftel is an exceptional woman.

Bliss,
Agreed: she seems to be! (Do you know her?)
