How 5 live helped fix 'disgusting' Rolling Stones plaque

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

Dartford council say they are "going to change" a blue plaque celebrating The Rolling Stones, after bass player Bill Wyman told 5 live it was "disgusting". Wyman said the heritage plaque at Dartford station, which marks the chance encounter between Mick Jagger and bandmate Keith Richards, fails to acknowledge Brian Jones's instrumental role in forming the band. 鈥淗e gave the name The Rolling Stones鈥�, said Wyman. 鈥淗e chose the music - blues. He was the leader - and all that. It should be a plaque to Brian Jones really. It's wrong.鈥� Dartford Council's leader Jeremy Kite said 鈥渉istory is history and you shouldn鈥檛 mess around with it. I have no complaint with him raising it or bringing it to our attention and now he has, we鈥檒l change it." This clip is originally from 5 live Afternoon Edition on Thursday June 25 2015.
