I think they decided that Rumours is the safer subject to play up in most interviews.

Agreed. The sordid Tango drama is too messy and makes the band look too much like spoiled, sloppy rock stars who pretty much hated the sight of each other. Whether or not Mick was lying about the Stevie/Lindsey throw-down, well, who really knows? It may or may not have happened, but the mere mention of it as maybe having happened is an ugly issue that I'm sure the band would like to bury. They'd all probably like to bury a lot of what Mick said in that book. Actually, they probably wanted to bury MICK
.
Yeah, Mick portrays Chris as a bit of a mean drunk, doesn't he? From the video footage I've seen of her it looks like she was more of a funny drunk, but then again, she did slap Lindsey after a show for kicking Stevie onstage. I wonder if she was drunk then? Get 'em Chris!
