Quoteswimtothemoon Maybe I'm missing somthing with the complaint. My understanding is the plaque is at the Dartford rail platform.

QuoteGreen Lady The plaque was put up by Dartford Borough Council, who understandably would like their two local lads to get as much kudos as possible. Doubt if any actual Rolling Stones were consulted about its wording or accuracy. Of course Brian and Stu formed the band - and Brian was the early leader simply because it was his idea in the first place. A very familiar scenario: the guy w

QuoteTurner68 QuoteCaptainCorella Going back to the original point in Bill Wyman's interview. Dartford have put up an incorrect plaque. It's as wrong to deny that the Glimmer Twins were, and are, responsible for the astounding success of the Rolling Stones, as it is to claim that they "FORMED" the band. That's what Bill Wyman is peeved about. And rightly so.
