Charlie Watts, the model of loyalty to his mum and to his wife, sends his mum her favourite cake every Friday. But of course, those stories never appear in the papers at the time because they don't fit. The image that people want of the Rolling Stones is, as the critic Ian McDonald puts it, is wasted emblems of decadent hedonism. So that's the only story that people want to tell.

And I think here's where the house fits in. Richards had bought the house in cash for £17,750. from a Royal Navy Commodore. And the house appeared in the newspapers every day. And why? I think because, again, the house is symbolic of something deeper. To the critics, the Rolling Stones shouldn't be at such a house. It's like the Beatles' MBE. It's an affront to everything they believe in.

And the judge at the trial... He also lives in a 16th century Sussex farmhouse, Leslie Block. And he is also a former naval commander who was decorated for bravery in the Second World War. And I think he saw the Rolling Stones. I think he's the kind of person, undoubtedly, who saw the Rolling Stones as an affront. He's the kind of person who would say, this is not what we fought for.

They would have loved all that. Such a shame. I know. And he, because he later gave a speech, Leslie Block, to the Horsham Ploughing and Agricultural Society. Honorary life president, M. Jagger. And he got in massive trouble with the legal authorities because he spoke out of turn about the trial. And he said, I and my fellow magistrates, we did our best to cut these stones down to size.

And I think that speaks, there are a lot of people in the country who felt like that at the time. These young people with their long hair have got ahead of themselves and we need to cut them down to size.

Yeah. But the Beatles, you see, as we talked about last time, the national media had decided that the Beatles are patriotic heroes because they had conquered America. So they won't go after them. But the Rolling Stones are the enemy. They're fair game. Yeah, they're fair game. So I think there's a degree to it. The trial, which opens on the 27th of June, is a foregone conclusion.

Robert Fraser pleaded guilty straight away. Mick Jagger said, you know, my doctor had told me it was all right to take amphetamines if I was stressed. That's right, isn't it? Because amphetamines, you know, we said are being prescribed all the time. That wasn't good enough. And the magistrate, this guy Block, directed the jury to find him guilty.
