I'll admit right up front that I had anticipated watching this documentary from the second I heard it was being made. Then it got pushed back with the plague and all of this stuff, so my expectations were so, so high for this; it's called Rolling Stone: Life and Death of Brian Jones.

Jones was a very interesting character in the Stones' history and in music history, of course. Heads up: no Stones music is used in it. And that is just a tiny little stupid thing, I realize, but it bothers me.

But if you're a Stones fan, it's certainly it's worth a look. It was recently released, and it's streaming on Amazon Prime and elsewhere.
