Quote:Some of these "builders" and "chauffeurs" around Jones and the Stones allegedly had links to the London criminal underworld.
The seminal movie, Performance, was largely shot in 1968, and the whole Stones entourage were obsessed with gangster hardcore drug/sex/death glamour. The movie was co-directed by Nicholas Roeg and Donald Cammell.
Cammell was a collaborator/acolyte of Kenneth Anger, who made films such as Lucifer Rising.
Lucifer Rising starred one Bobby Beausoleil.
Bobby Beausoleil was a Manson Family member and assassin. Beausoleil sliced up alleged drug dealer Gary Hinman's face with a sword, and then cut off his ear. Later, Beausoleil murdered Hinman, and daubed "political piggy" on the wall in Hinman's blood.
Anita Pallenberg had been Brian Jones' girlfriend. By the time of Performance, she was Keith Richards' girlfriend. The film featured explicit (for the time) sex scenes involving Pallenberg and Jagger. Allegedly Pallenberg also had a relationship with James Fox, who played the gangster.
Allegedly, the filming of the second half of the movie, in the Notting Hill Gate house, was chaotic, with major hallucinogenic ingestion and mass paranoia as Cammell screwed with everyone's minds.
In Performance, the Jagger character has lost his creative mojo and tries to get inside the head of the gangster killer Fox through drugs, sex, and hypnotic trance.
Literally psychedelic possession.
The relevance to Brian Jones is that outside the fictional world, the Stones appear to have been engaged in analogous quests.
This is also the time of Altamont.

War, children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away.
Rape, murder, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away.
It's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away.

Murder at Altamont.
