In 1967…British tabloid News of the World ran the story, Pop Stars and Drugs – Facts that Will Shock You.  Among the “revelations”:  Pete Townshend, Ginger Baker and The Moody Blues had all attended L-S-D parties; Mick Jagger admitted to using L-S-D, and once took Benzedrine. Jagger denied the story and threatened to sue for libel. It later transpired the reporter got his facts by eavesdropping on Brian Jones in a London disco thinking he was Jagger. The hysteria whipped up by the story, however, led to a police raid on Keith Richards’ home the next week.
