Rolling stones

An otherwise ordinary day in 1960, a teenaged Mick Jagger made his way through a railway station in Dartford, England, with a few blues albums tucked under his arm. It's impossible to say what was going through his head that day but his timing was perfect. He walked at just the right pace, took just the right turns, made just the right decisions, and ran right into an old childhood acquaintance, Keith Richards, with whom he would quickly rekindle a friendship. A short four years later, the two stood at the center of the most controversial and some would say greatest rock-and-roll band in the world, the Rolling Stones.
In the meantime, Jagger and Richards would step off their London-bound train and head to separate colleges Mick to the London School of Economics, Keith to Sidcup Art College but they traveled the music scene together. For a time, they played in a band called Little Boy Blue and the Blue Boys. Later, at an Alexis Korner Blues Incorporated show, they met Brian Jones, a talented blond blues guitarist. Jones didn't have a lot in common with the college boys: he had fathered two illegitimate children by the time he was sixteen, and he favored the more traditional blues of slide guitarist Elmore James. (In fact, Jones had begun performing solo under the moniker of Elmo Lewis because he thought it sounded more authentic.) But Jagger and Richards soon began jamming with Blues Inc. which later acquired a drummer named Charlie Watts and eventually Jagger became a featured singer with the outfit.
