"Brian came up with the name (Rolling Stones). It was a phone call - which cost money - and we were down to pennies… We got a gig at last, so we said, “Call up Jazz News, put in an advert”. So Brian gaily dials away - and they say Who? We hadn’t got a name and every second was costing a precious farthing. There’s a Muddy Waters record face down - The Best of Muddy Waters - and the first song was Rollin’ Stone Blues. Brian had a panicked look on his face - he said I don’t know… the Rolling Stones. That’s the reason we’re called the Rolling Stones…. Our first gig was… at the Marquee."
