QuoteHairball I assume he felt it wasn't commercial enough as he was still attempting to make it BIG as a solo star which still didn't work (don't hate on me Mick fans).

"He talked about the players who actually saved the day and I think if Mick was one of them, he'd have been mentioned". The entire Stones organization - especially legal - has not occurred by magic, someone created it - and it was Mick. The full power of the organization was thrown to KR aid. Bill Carter was there because Mick found him and charmed to work for them. KR'

"Closest one can come is probably reading Life, and having done that, I'd say it's pretty safe branding MJ as cold". That's a sufficient answer to my question - you value words more than actions If the facts and one's perception of reality do not coincide - well, the facts can be neglected
