1965: One of the most famous arrests in the history of rock and roll took place on this day when 3 of the Rolling Stones (Mick Jagger, Brian Jones & Bill Wyman) are busted for urinating on the side of a gas station.
The arrest cements their reputation as rock’s “bad boys” and makes them definitely the #1 alternative to the far better-behaved Beatles.
Today, many people believe the whole stunt was conceived by the Stones’ manager Andrew Loog Oldham purely as a publicity stunt.
