Or something like that?... Pertaining to the decision not to include Ian Stewart in public as a Rolling Stones band member.

Was it because Oldham believed that six is too many? Or because Andrew saw that Stu didn't look like the rest of them?

I think it wad because "he didn't look like the rest of them"

__________________________

I wonder if that decision made a difference for the stardom that they achieved

it's cos stu wouldn't play minor chords - no minors allowed....

I believe it was because he didn't look like the rest of them...they probably told him "6 was too many".

I don't think it would have made any difference.

>> Was it because Oldham believed that six is too many?

in his book ALO says it was both

things would be different for the Stones if Stu wasn't the way he was - faithful, good, honest and positive. shame they were exact opposites.

<Because Stu didnt look like the others> A bit cruel I would of thought thinking like that.

Interesting interview Bill German's did with Stu
printed in a tribute issue in Beggars Banquet

HERE

Stu talks frankly about ALO

Thanks for that Schillid! Great interview

Whatever we think of Andrew for suggesting it, the band did go along with it and ultimately Andrew was right.
