Brian Jones: loves'n'hates. The Rolling Stones, Part I.

Hello everybody! This is my first post here. And it will be dedicated to the multi instrumentalist of The Rolling Stones, Brian Jones! I hope you'll like it.

So let's start!

Today we're going to talk about Brian Jones's loves and hates. It's a type of the interview when a celebrity talks about things which she or he likes and detests.

*Detest— synonym for hate. When something makes you disgusted.
