I’m actually pretty damn proud of Luke Mullen in his choosing of TJ’s name.
Jagger of course after Mick Jagger. Jagger was of course the lead singer for The Rolling Stones and an overall iconic rockstar. He was known for his gender non-conforming stage persona in the 70s. He experimented with Glam Rock fashion, and makeup, and had quite the extravagant stage-presence. Jagger is notoriously bisexual and has been with many men and women in his time, including Princess Margaret and David Bowie.
Thelonious is most likely after Thelonious Monk, a Black Pianist and a prominent jazz artist from Harlem. He was known for his fantastic improvisation skills and compositions. He was an active jazz artist for nearly 40 years and was in a quartet with John Coltrane. Monk was also a victim of Police Brutality like many Black men in America. In 1958, on his way to a gig, where he was pulled over by police officers. When he refused to answer their questions, he was beat unconscious with a club-like weapon known as a Blackjack. Monk also suffered from severe mental illness that was misdiagnosed several times, he was put on narcotics, lithium, and other hard medications to try to ‘fix him’. Monk died in 1982 to a stroke.
So I’m proud of Luke’s picks, having TJ named after a gender non-conforming bisexual rock star and a mentally ill strong black man.

Not only a Rolling Stones song from ‘72, but the best way to describe what is coming out of 2020’s World Surf League offices.

The Rolling Stones
Beatles and Rolling Stones fandoms maybe I am wrong but it seems to me as far as I can tell there are lot of speculations about the relationship between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, they are known as the glimmer twins, confirmed by their ex girlfriends and strenghtened by an episode about Mick Jagger and David Bowie, is less but much less famous than mclennon (John Lennon and Paul McCartney). I am not a Rolling Stones fan, I like some songs but I don't particulary know their biographys, the exact history of the band, only the fact Mick Jegger is the classic old rocker who older he gets and younger women he dates...and drugs obviuosly the Rolling Stones lived the 60's fully. It's because they are controversial? You don't like something they did? Or because stereotypically the Beatles had a larger female fandom while the Rolling Stones a male one and a lot of women use media Tumblr, blogs, fanfiction's sites etc and men don't care or don't want face this kind of discussion?

Question to all Rolling Stones fans interested in Brian Jones and his children.
In Paul Trynka's (great) book he mentions that Brian had a child before Simon (Barry David) with Valerie. The child was put up for adoption by the mother (called by the pseudonym "Hope" in the book) and Trynka doesn't mention if they were a boy or a girl.
Does anyone know anything about this child?
Brian never knew about his children Belinda and Barbara, but he knew of "Barry", Mark, Julian, and "Paul" (later John), and must surely have known of this first baby.
When Brian started with the Stones he mentioned to the other guys that he had "illegitimate sons" (I think), so maybe that's a clue towards them being a boy? Does anyone know of he ever mentioned how many sons he had when he met the band? They started in 1962 and by then Brian would only have known of the first baby, Valerie's son and his son Mark with Pat Andrews. So he'd know of three at that time.
By July 1964 Linda had her boy Julian with him. So if he mentioned sons then they would be four. Dawn Molloy's son "Paul"/John was born in either late 1964 or early 1965. So after 1965 he would know of five sons if the first baby was male.
If he ever mentioned a daughter before he passed then it's likely to be this baby or another completely unknown child since he never seems to have known of Belinda or Barbara.
Maybe one of the other Stones their partners mentioned something, I've been trying to look for interviews with Anita and Marianne for clues. Anita spoke A LOT about Brian over the years.
