Very interesting points, all of them. And I happen to totally agree. Wincentsen's book was really a piece of work.

probably true. I could see John viewing it like this, totally. 'oh enough already, we've had so much written about us as it is, give it a rest!'

Maybe one day Mick will decide to hire hire someone to do a proper bio? it would HAVE to have some input from at least the 5 Rumours people...and everybody else contributing their memories would be an incredible bonus.

I'd love to do it!!! But I'd be scared you'd be less than pleased w/ it LOL.
