A new book on
Mick Jagger reveals that Britain's
MI5 -- the American equivalent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (F.B.I.) -- plotted to destroy the
Rolling Stones during the infamous 1967 Redlands drug bust. An excerpt of the forthcoming Philip Norman book
Mick Jagger --
published in The Daily Mail late Sunday -- claims the organizations used a failed actor named David Snyderman to befriend the band, establishing a means to try to ruin them through the notorious raid. According to Norman, "the Redlands raid was part of an extraordinary plot, orchestrated by our own MI5 and the FBI and designed to put an early end to the Rolling Stones' career." The author said a British film agent based in Los Angeles named Maggie Abbott revealed the details to him after she befriended a failed actor David Jove. Jove told her his name was David Snyderman, known to the Rolling Stones as "Acid King David."
