Get Stoned with this CD giveaway
Stoned is the story of Brian Jones, the founder of the Rolling Stones who was cooler than Keith, got more action than Mick, and flamed out in spectacular rock star fashion: he got kicked out of the band and weeks later was found dead in his pool. Was his death a drugged-out drowning, or was he pushed? Stoned the biopic asks this question and explores the life of Brian Jones in true '60s style. It is, as producer-director Stephen Woolley says, more Performance than Austin Powers. It opens Friday, March 24 at the Nuart, where it plays exclusively for one week.
