`  == Problems in the lead ==  Seeing that I've basically had any changes I've written into the lead erased, I'll put my complaints here. First, Brian Jones was the founder of the band. He was also a multi-instrumentalist- perhaps not at the very moment he and Keith Richards agreed to form the band, but very quickly.  Also, saying The Rolling Stones played the blues in a different manner than their more ``primitive`` American counterparts is not just really poor writing but it smacks of racism or at least an elitist attitude on this side of the puddle. Perhaps this might help a ``little``: Keith Richards discussing the early Rolling Stones, and far more.   `
