i thought i read that in Mick's book, but i might not remember it right. same as you i found that amusing... but also realistic. Mick is not afraid to say what he thinks and i like that about him. of course so many people feel the need to jump on him (for not holding back about caring about the money, for example).

i always tried to imagine how LB looked at the time for Mick to come to that conclusion. (since i personally don't like lindsey's white album/rumours era look... but i guess when you see him up close he has always been and still is extremely handsome man).

on a different but related note, and that may be my personal bias, i can't help but have tons of respect for entertainers who succeed despite not looking too hot, since you know that those people had to be so much more talented and persistent to make it through than pretty people.
