I didn't believe Mick's book because both Michael and Lindsey said that he wrote it by heart and he was high all the time. Lindsey denied the whole thing so I believed him. Untill Stevie told the story herself in a BBC interview. She was really serious about it and very sincere.

Timothy White also referred to it in his cover story of the band for Musician magazine. But I haven't read that article recently so I don't remember how much putative violence he records. I'm off to the Blue Letter Archives (which I wish more of you consulted) to check it out!
Another, unrelated thing about Mick's book: So many fans question the accuracy & validity of it, & some even dismiss it entirely as a fabrication, but that's just lunacy on their part. That book has a lot of accuracy in it & a lot of useful data. Sure, much of it is filtered through Mick's zonked perspective & so doesn't provide a complete picture of the various incidents. Nonetheless, a lot of it is very entertaining & very reliable & useful. Stephen Davis is a plagiarist, & that's one thing about plagiarists. If they're stealing from Rolling Stone & Record & Musician & other magazines, at least you know they're on the mark with their facts!
