1106 - The Rollright Stone

Am rapidly reading a Rolling Stones-
Related ream of recounting by Bill
Wyman. Why, man? And why did Brian Jones
That jaded junkie, jump into the pool?
Some pick on Mick, but sick enough to kill
An ex-friend on a bender, at the end
Of his tether? Neither he nor Keith will
Appear to care when they’re so quick to spend
Their cash, like Jumping Jack Flash. Old girlfriend
Of Brian’s, Anita - now Keith’s her own
Could he be why, man, a pale pile of pills
Were popped by Brian, high, low, and few friends?
Wyman’s a wiser man, his groaning bones
Are rolling into stone age, rolling still…

The Rollright Stones are ancient standing stones, west of Oxfordshire
