On This Day in Rock'n'Roll History 1969…
Mick Jagger is fined £45 at Marlborough Magistrates Court here in London for the possession of
cannabis.
The court (now a hotel) has many associations with the
world of Rock'n'Roll, having seen Johnny Rotten and John Lennon (to name but
two) put on trial here.
You can read a little more about
Marlborough Street in our earlier posts It's A London Thing No.14 Monopoly and from our archive series The Saturday Street.
And here's Mick back in '69 in Hyde Park
paying tribute to Brian Jones…
And here’s our own Rock’n’Roll London video…
