"It's All Over Now, " for Rolling Stones frontman.
THE YEAR: 1969
THE OFFENSE: Possession of Marijuana
THE OFFENDER: Mick Jagger
The Rolling Stones singer insisted police tried to plant cocaine on him during a drug bust at his London home, in which cannabis was found. His girlfriend, Marianne Faithful, was also at the house during the bust. Jagger was found guilty of marijuana possesion, and was fined 200 pounds. Police statements show a concern for the rocker's well-being, and his apparent ties to the drug world.
On a lighter note, if you haven't checked out the new Martin Scorsese film, Shine a Light, you should. The film does a brilliant job of showcasing the bands talent on stage, while incorporating flashbacks of their growth through the years.
THE GREEN FAIRY IS GROWING UP:KYLIE MINOGUE TURNS 40!
There is far too much to say about Kylie to be contained in a birthday blip, so we will save it for a later review, but this Australian diva deserves recognition on this special day. Can you believe she is 40 years old?! Her latest studio album, X, may be her fiercest one yet. "Over the hill" is certainly not a saying that can be associated with Ms. Minogue; this superstar is just approaching her peak.

TODAY IN MUSIC HISTORY: 5/28
It was this day in 1969 that Brian Jones said his goodbyes to the Rolling Stones. Jones was one of the founding members of the group, but claimed he had to leave because of artistic differences. He did not agree with the direction many members were wanting to go. (Good thing they never made it anywhere, or he would have been upset. Oh wait...)
