...Aunt ("I'm from Brazil, where the nuts come from"), rambunctious Julia is not as advertised. She is the former sister-in-law of Mario's uncle and so no blood relative.

At the not-so-subtle prompting of producer Andrew Oldham, the press created an image for the group: semi-civilized sex demons, interested only in violating white-skinned virgins and avoiding baths and haircuts. In March 1964, Melody Maker ran a headline which must have made the behind-the-scenes mastermind smile very broadly: "Would You Let Your Daughter Go With a Rolling Stone?" Said Oldham at the time...
