No Jones no stones. Simple as that.

I love Brian, but this is laughable, and I think he would find it too. The musty old couch of a town he yearned to escape from? The one where he knocked up a few local birds? Or is Brian so safely dead that they could revise his image into a tourist trap? Like Steinbeck in Salinas? Aren't there any footballers or other minor celebrities they can deify?

This must be fairly new as according to article posted here in this thread (Gustav), Gustav had no memorial. Neither does poet Alfred Lord Tennyson, physician Edward Jenner, actor Sir Ralph Richardson, and cricketing legend WG Grace, but maybe they all do now?
As for Gustav, maybe his fans caused a ruckus and had a petition drive demanding he be memorialized!!! I wonder of he has a walking history trail?

A blue plaque was installed at one of BJ former homes in Rosemead Cheltenham and I created a few designs for a BJ statue in Cheltenham, however a BJ bust was installed in a local shopping mall in Cheltenham in the end.

We all know Bill Wyman's words: No Brian Jones - No Rolling Stones!

Doesn't take away from the fact he was the founder, and if the band was never found, it would have never existed as we know it.
Without Jones, no Stones.
Keith and Mick would have still met, but who knows what they would have become.
Maybe playing local pubs, or maybe another Peter and Gordon, or maybe a semi-successful blues covers band, or maybe members of a huge rock and roll band.
Whatever the case, without Brian they wouldn't be the Rolling Stones.
