Washington, DC -- The Rolling Stones used to be seen as dangerous, but Mick Jagger says the danger was really to the band. He told record-label executive Joe Smith many years ago that he thinks their bad boy image contributed to Brian Jones' "cracking up completely" and, "to a certain extent," Keith Richards "becoming a junkie." The interview is one of 200 donated to the Library of Congress. You can listen to 25 of them on the Library of Congress website
