Hi!!! Thank you for all the wonderful pictures of Brian. There are some I have never seen before.. I really like the 1964-1965 pictures where he looks the healthiest. IMO.
Just a question here for all of you... What caused the "big change" in Brian in the late 1960's? Surely it couldn't be just the Morrocco fiasco?!?
Also I've seen on different forums where there were some problems mentally? Was this because of the drug use or did he have them earlier?
This is a wonderful site.. Thanks for your help.....

Hi Marie -- just my opinion, but I don't think there was a "big change", I see it more as a gradual change as a lot of things mounted up: the death of Tara Browne, losing Anita to Keith, two drug busts, the drug use itself, personal relations in the Stones continually getting worse. And, yes, I think some problems were definitely emotional and longstanding...Brian was described as being very moody/tendency to depression even before the Stones, so I don't think it was the drugs...
