"I remember one long chat between the three of us (Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and myself). We didn’t have the money to buy a banner and cart it through the streets, but if we had we would have done just that. So we had to think hard. Suppose we failed. Suppose we went on not doing much, just soaking up music, for a whole year. That would be about the limit, we reckoned. We flopped – would it matter? At least we’d have tried." - Brian Jones
