FACTS
1. 1977, Queens silver jubilee

2. Stones released 22 UK studio albums. 24 US, and 8 UK concert albums. 9 US

3. Stones formed in 1962

4.Pallenberg is known for her romantic involvement with Rolling Stones band members Brian Jones, whom she met in 1965 in Munich,
and Keith Richards, for whom she left Jones in 1967. She remained in a relationship with Richards until 1980 although they never married.

5.RIchards suspected in 1969 that Jagger was having an affair with his sixties partner Anita Pallenberg.

6.Richards then had a "liason" with Jagger's girlfriend Marianne Faithfull.

7. It was the rock stars of the day who were at the pinnacle of this lifestyle, and gave out the message that it was a life not just full of thrills, but of
a much-needed political revolution to break the patriarchy and downright boredom of conventional relationships and the nuclear family. 

8. Author A. E. Hotchner mentions Pallenberg's influence on the development and presentation of the Rolling Stones from the late 1960s and through the 1970s. She played an unusual role in the male-dominated world of rock music in the late 1960s, acting as much more than just a groupie or partner of a band member.Jagger respected her opinion enough that tracks on Beggars Banquet were remixed when Pallenberg criticised them. In the 2002 compilation release of Forty Licks, Pallenberg is credited as singing background vocals on "Sympathy for the Devil".

9.She shared Richards's drug addiction. She was charged first in the 1977 Toronto heroin arrest that led to Richards being arrested on charges that could have led to a lengthy prison sentence. A warrant for Pallenberg's arrest was the reason police came to search the pair's hotel rooms; she pled guilty to marijuana possession and was fined, several weeks after Richards's arrest

10.In 1979, a 17-year-old boy, Scott Cantrell, shot himself in the head with a gun owned by Keith Richards, while in Pallenberg's bed. The youth had been employed as a part-time groundskeeper at the estate and was involved in a sexual relationship with Pallenberg. Richards was in Paris recording with the Rolling Stones but his son was at the house when the teen killed himself. Pallenberg was arrested. However, the death was ruled a suicide in 1980, despite rumours that Pallenberg and Cantrell had been playing a game of Russian roulette with the gun. The police investigation stated that Pallenberg was not in the room or on the same floor of the house at the time the fatal shot was fired.

11.Pallenberg and Richards together had three children: son Marlon (born 10 August 1969), daughter Angela (original name Dandelion, born 17 April 1972), and a second son, Tara (26 March – 6 June 1976), who died in his cot 10 weeks after birth.

12.The Free Love movement’s initial goal was to separate the state from sexual matters such as marriage, birth control, and adultery. It claimed that such issues were the concern of the people involved, and no one else.

13.New cultural forms emerged, including the pop music of the British bands and the concurrent rise of hippie culture, which led to the rapid evolution of a youth subculture that emphasized change and experimentation.

14.The Rolling Stones began as a blues band. Their greatest success came when the group reinvented itself as a rock band.

15.Formed in 1961 by schoolmates Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, what has become known as the world's greatest rock & roll band originally
 performed covers of other artists' hit songs. Their first album, in 1964, contained only one Jagger-Richards original

OPINIONS
1.Richards is a had been wimp, no drugs, and he's cottoned onto Depp?
Why does this snoozepaper feature such a nonentititty?

2.He certainly hasn't given up the booze, that's pretty evident from their live shows...
God, what a sad, old conceited goat he's become

3.Keith Richards mystifies me. When you look at pictures of him in the 60s and 70s and then look at
him now, it's not like a man who has aged: he just doesn't look like the same man. Different
shaped head and face altogether. And he wonders where his mate Mick has gone.

4.s greatest 'lost' comedian of the 20th century... just keeps getting better with age! nice one Keith.
I think judging by his slow uptake as to who Johnny Depp was, Lucifer may have to re-introduce himself

5."[Keith Richards] was the big Lord Byron figure. He was mad, bad, and dangerous to know."

6.In 2010, Peter Hitchens wrote of Richards that he is "a capering streak of living gristle who ought to be exhibited as a warning
to the young of what drugs can do to you even if you're lucky enough not to choke on your own vomit".

7."Wasn't this the era of free love, sexual liberation, anything goes and we're all friends afterwards?" (David Lister-writer of article)

8."chances are his girlfriend never actually slept with jagger or anyone else, so for him to do that to jaggers girlfriend makes him worse in my opinion"
(chrus lawson)

9."Regardless if its free love there should still be boundries that you have with yourself and respect others BUT to sleep with another mans women just because you suspect they are yours is wrong." 
(marty edwards)

10. "I think that's quite silly, sleeping with someone else girlfriend through suspicion... he's out of his little mind box he is! You do know hes not a real person? more of an enigma, a guitar playing enigma."
(Niall Cruickshank-Sutton)
