Two solid years on the road, saturation of markets, poor record sales, poor reviews and old age? ABB did it.

Do you really think MJ and the other Stones care what Keith writes in his book? They are all grown men, and had to deal with (British) tabloids for almost 50 years saying much worse things. I think everyone is taking it waaaay too seriously, looking for small details (no pun) and blowing it up (again, no pun).
I thought it was an honest, candid book, Keith is speaking from his guts, and yes he made some snippy remarks here and there. But for most of the book he was kind to his mates, praising and acknowledging them.
And any publicity is good publicity, the Stones know that more than anyone else.

If they want to continue..they will. If they don't they wont. Don't think "Life" is in any way the determining factor.

Just because one might choose not to think 'Life' is a determining factor does not make it so.Quote

I just would assume by the reports here and there that it has caused a lot of damages.
And just because of what other people wrote, you decided to not read the book ? You are just kidding, right ?

The more I look back through "Life" and all that it exposed, the more it seems that it may also have been the final straw/deathknell blow to, if not the Stones, then Jagger's interest in future projects.
Think about how close to the vest Jagger has always played everything - as has the rest of the band.
And think about how much "Life" dishes - the gossip - Keith's versions of stories behind the songs - it's a huge violation of band privacy.
"Life" seems like it may have been the code-violation of the ages - the book all magicians hate - the one that spoils all of the illusions.
This is just my opinion, mind you - no more, no less.

...no doubt Mick didn't like it or appreciate it. He took a swipe at Keith in the NY Sunday Times cover story earlier this year basically insinuating Keith did it for the money which goes directly to Keith's image/credibility since he has always professed loudly that it wasn't about the money...that's all your going to get from Jagger...except of course for the high profile guest appearances with U2 and then the Grammy's which all made him look pretty good. Keith's book was interesting, even very good at times but you also can't walk away from it without wondering why he took such a low road with both Anita and Mick. At least Keith didn't go on Oprah and discuss the book there.....that might of been the end of the Rolling Stones.

I seriously doubt that Mick Jagger gives a rat's ass about Keith's book. THey weathered bigger storms during the 1980's and were able to work together. I speculate that their relationship since the 1980's has been more about business than anything else. And what motivates these guys (especially Mick Jagger) and brings them to tour every 3-5 years has more to do with the gobs of money they will make on the road...
