Bill is the coolest stone and my favorite.

Cool is cool.

Thanks, Frank - well, the vasty majority of shows that the Stones have done in the last 40 years would have been recorded and (unless theyve been destroying tapes) would exist as a soundboard, even if its only in a raw, unmixed form.
As for the '73 video footage, have read a few times that it was filmed, so unless the tapes are unusable through decay, I cant imagine why theyd have thrown it out. They have a warehouse in London that stores all this stuff.

You never know, maybe one of the cool (non troll) members here is him.

My initial message was meant to be serious so I am in fact a little disappointed that nobody would like to ask Bill something serious.

Bill asked to follow me on twitter...god knows why, i don't follow him. i've never contacted him and have no idea where he got my details from....very strange.

How did he manage to stay out of jail when he was openly banging an underage girl when he was in his '40's?

He wrote two books? One that was a lot of bitching, the other that was, although it had some factual errors, outstanding (Rolling With The Stones).

Exactly those were the questions which I did not mean. This thread exclusively was intended to deal with Bill's role as the Rolling Stons archivist'.

Besides, he isn't on the board because his only use for his fanbase is heterosexual gratification, and he otherwise only wants its money, about which he exhibits an anal retentive obsession. See Stone Alone.

Jagger and Richard were making fantastic sums from the Stones while Bill and Charlie (and Brian too I assume) were struggling, with their big money coming from tours. I still read fans comments to this day that Bill is very nice to them when they approach him. I certainly don't begrudge Bill being obsessed about money. You think Mick and Keith will put up with each other one more time in 2012 out of love?
