Okay, who wants to hear the story(for the millionth time) about me peeing next to Billy?

You know, there really is some truth to that. I've always been shocked and disappointed to find out that my musical heroes are DICKS, but more times than not, it seems to be the case. In the music BUSINESS, it seems that dicks rise to the top(pun not intended). In The Eagles, Joe Walsh said the reason that Randy Meisner(who sang their first #1 hit) left the group was that he wasn't an alpha, while the rest of them were - nice guys don't finish first. I would guess that Rick and Billy knew their places in the hierarchy of FM, and never let their egos take over.
