Thank you for your insight. I think it is so easy for people who don't know the man to come on here and accuse him of all kinds of horrible things. As the figurehead and leader of the band, Mick is not in a position to be everybody's best friend; he often has to make tough, sometimes painful decisions. From the bits and pieces we've heard/read so far, it seems like the RRHOF induction process for FM was fraught with politics, competing interests and personal issues. At the end of the day, it would have been impossible for Mick to make everyone happy, so he did what was in the best interests of those closest to him at the time. I appreciate, Jeremy, that despite your own apparent "snub," you seem to be able to still see the humanity in Mick.
