Would you feel that way if I told you that Mick blew off the Keith and Charlie in December to go to India to work on Superheavy??
I hear things................
Don't know eg666 or exactly how "inside" he might be, but December was a while ago.
Since then Keith
himself has spoken about meeting with Mick. The following appeared in his May interview with
USA Today:
When Jagger and Richards, boyhood pals since the early '50s, met in New York a month ago, "Mick pouted a bit, as is his wont," Richards says. "I told him, 'It's water under the bridge. I want to talk about the future. We're larger than a little bitching here and there. It's only rock 'n' roll.' I love working with Mick. Maybe that friction that makes it work, that bit of sand in the oyster that makes the pearl."
'Course that's Keith talking, and there's been no corroboration from Mick, but at the very least it's a quote from a
Rolling Stone...
If (and its a big if) he chose to go to India to work instead of 'meet' Keith and Charlie, whats the big deal exactly? If it didnt suit him, then its not significant.
Much easier to reschedule a meeting amongst four semi-retired musicians who mostly live within a few miles of each other than it is to get five musicians who live on three different continents together to work on an ongoing project.
Quite why this is worthy of analysis escapes me.
Plus, Mick spending time with Keith in late 2010 just after the publication of that book may not have been a particularly
good idea....
