Original Rolling Stones' guitarist and founder Brian Jones died at age 27 on this day in 1969. I was 9 years old at the time and first heard the news before the July 4 fireworks at Seaside Park in Bridgeport. Brian was one of my early heroes and one of the real innovators in pop music.
Brian played a mournful slide guitar on 1968's No Expectations.
