A great interview with Noel Redding (Bassist for the Jimi Hendrix Experience) by Richard Allen
This portion mentions Brian Jones/Rolling Stones
FB:- So what was your first encounter with psychedelics?
NR:- The first time was on an airplane going from London to New York. I was sitting beside Brian Jones and he gave me this little tablet and he said "Take it''. So I took it because like he was Brian Jones, you know! The next thing I basically remember was that I was on some boat in New York and I said "Well it doesn't affect me'' and the next thing I knew was I was in San Francisco (laughter). It did affect me actually!
FB:- What do you have to say about psychedelics? Would you do it again?
NR:- I wouldn't do it again, ever. I suppose the old natural stuff would be ok, the old mushroom, but I wouldn't advise anyone to do it. Then again, I've taken a lot. I took a lot of LSD over many years. I wouldn't advise anyone to do it unless they know what they're doing. If I was sitting beside Brian Jones again and he gave
me a tablet, I suppose I'd still take it (laughter).
FB:- What about the Stones?
NR:- Well I used to hang out with Brian at the Speakeasy and he used to take me home in his Rolls and drop me off at my ? a week flat. He was very nice. Brian was a very nice person.
Noel is writing a book, he lives in a small Village in Ireland.
The rest of the interview is located here http://www.me.umn.edu/~kgeisler/noelint.html tale a look, it's great, he talks about Jimi, LSD, Timothy Leary, British scene back then, etc
Thanks to Brian Rhee aka BJ Heaven for the heads up!

Noel Redding has a girl named Gloria, and she comes knocking on his door...you know the rest!
Why can't people just be satisfied with women? Drugs are a waste of time.
