of course the man is no angel, but on the other hand, despite what you may think he's one of the world's greatest drummers, he is the man who kept this great band alive through thick and thin for 36+ years, and like it or not, he's the man who's responsible to the fact that lindsey and stevie have careers at all.
please show SOME respect.

2. he's money hungry alright. yes, sometimes it's becoming unfair to us fans, but overall i'd say that his money grabbing is beneficial for most of us.
what can i say, usually i enjoy spending money on FM. example: i'll be going to see them in london pretty soon, and it's about to cost me at least 1500$, honestly, i don't really have this money right now, will mick be responsible for this upcoming overdraft? no.
this money grabbing can end with this wretched fanclub on one hand or Tango In The Night on the other.

3. the fact that i'm smoking a nice ganja as i write this, doesn't make my opinion any less valid than yours if you don't mind.

My thinking process is perfectly fine, if others don't like my opinions, they don't have to agree. But I don't need to be told that my "thinking process" is off base. I find that quite rude.

1. It's a matter of *OPINION* whether or not someone thinks he's one of the "greatest" drummers. He's a good drummer in my book, but not one of the greatest in the world. It's a matter of opinion and personal taste.

2. I don't have to respect him for hooking up with Lindsey and Stevie. That's a bit far-fetched.

3. If you can explain how the fan club is beneficial to most of us, I'd be open to hearing you explain it. If you can explain how his "book" was beneficial to us, please explain. The things he does are beneficial to him and his cohorts (the band included), plain and simple.

I respect his music, but I don't respect *him*. He's proven what an arse he is and that's enough for me.

Once again, if someone doesn't agree, more power to ya. Our opinions are what make us unique. but don't insult people if you don't agree.
