Interview with Brian Jones's Son DAVID LARS "CANNONBALL" BRANDSTONE: [www.angelfire.com]
That's a spoof, right ?
I don't know if it's a spoof. I was always interested in knowing how many children Brian had.
I was always interested to see if the Stones children would become talented music performers. Brian may have been the most talented prodigy ever. They say he could pick-up and instrument and master it quickly.
It would be interesting to see a list of every instrument Brian played on which song.
What is this thing?
Put your head in it and I will tell you...................
It's a sousaphone.

I would say that 3.5 pints of beer is an excessive amount.
Well, he would have certainly fail any breathalyser test.
An often overlooked and unexplained question is the large trace of an "amphetamine type drug" found in Brian's system. Nine times the "usual" amount.
Even by rock star standards that's pretty excessive.
Hence the drink and drugs misadventure conclusion.

Well if it was someone not used to that amount of alcohol, then yes it would be very much, but taking into the account that he had been a heavy drinker for a number of years - which affects the amount a person can consume without it necessarily impairing his functions - he was, in the words of a doctor consulted, “definitely nowhere near paralytic”.
He apparently only drank brandy that night according to Anna Wohlin (and the police did find half a bottle of brandy, four fifths consumed).
And there's that unknown and unidentifiable drug, and that is pretty weird tbh. Found this;
"Brian’s body was subjected to a thin-layer chromatography, a technique designed to separate and analyze all organic bodily components. The results revealed no amphetamine, methedrine, morphine, methadone or isoprenaline in his organs.
What it did reveal was far more alarming; two dense spots, one yellow-orange in colour, the other purple, which were not identifiable. Brian’s urine analysis revealed an amphetamine-like substance, but not actual amphetamine, and the distinction is important - amounting to 1720 mgs per cent, nearly nine times the normal level. The report records: ‘These figures suggest ingestion of a fairly large quantity of a drug.’"
This means he didn't have any drugs in his system, except for that one unidentifiable drug.
Found this one book that suggested that (one of) his drink(s) was spiked with this unidentifiable drug by Frank Thorogood but I don't know if I believe that, it's all just theories you know? And to be completely frank () Frank doesn't strike me as the sharpest tool in the toolbox and capable of planning it to that extent.
It is very strange though and I do believe Frank had something to do with his death.
