QuoteBärs It actually is possible that Keith "lied" in the 70's and that the recent account is more balanced. If Keith started emphasizing Stu's role after Stu died, as some say, it's not strange if he, and others, did the same after Brian died. The early accounts might have been influenced by the fact that Brian had died and people involved were "nice" when

The beautiful thing is, a promoter can have any clause they want and an artist can choose not to work with that promoter if they don't want to conform to the clauses in the contract.
