BBC RADIO 2 60s SEASON
Who Breaks A Butterfly On A Wheel
Tuesday 3 July 2007
10.30-11.30pm BBC RADIO 2 (56:48, 19.5MB, 48kbps, excellent quality)

The story of the Rolling Stones' traumatic summer of 1967 is told in Who Breaks A Butterfly On A Wheel.

The programme – which takes its name from an article in The Times, written by its traditionally conservative editor William (now Lord) Rees-Mogg – looks at the events and repercussions surrounding a highly publicised drugs bust on a party held at Redlands, Keith Richards's Sussex country home.

William Rees-Mogg questioned the outcome of the court case in which Richards and Jagger were handed custodial sentences for first-time offences that were, according to Rees-Mogg, harsher than "any purely anonymous young man" would have received, due to their celebrity status.

The programme includes interviews with Lord Rees-Mogg and Andrew Loog Oldham, former manager of the Stones.

The BBC Radio 2 Sixties Season marks the anniversary of the "Summer of Love" and also the network's 40th birthday in September, taking listeners on a magical mystery tour of the Sixties with a season of summer programming celebrating the music and culture of this influential decade.
***********************
Synopsis (www.wbbc.biz)
‘Forty years ago Rolling Stones Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were busted for drugs at Richards’ home in Sussex. The arrest received massive coverage. When the two were given custodial sentences, William Rees-Mogg, then editor of ‘The Times’, wrote a famous leader pointing out that the punishment was heavier than the crime merited and if unknown young men were similarly arraigned they would have got off lighter. He’s one of the interviewees here, as is Andrew Loog Oldham, the Stones manager at the time. Bob Harris presents and produces’.
