Historic marker placed where Jagger & Richards met

The train platform that Mick Jagger and Keith Richards met each other on in the autumn of 1961 now has an historic marker commemorating that occasion. The Thursday (2/5) unveiling by the mayor of Dartford outside the UK community's train station took place in what the Borough Council president called '...a modest space considering the station's enormous role in pop music history.'  On October 17, 1962, Jagger was en route to the London School of Economics with a batch of blues albums in hand.  Richards was carrying a Hofner electric guitar and headed for his art college.  The rest is, as they say and we all ahe heard, history.
