Thoughts on Mick's New Book

[FuzzyPlum]

After a week away on holiday I got home last night to find Mick's book waiting for me. Firstly I was a bit miffed as my 'signed' copy had a signed label stuck in which isn't quite the same thing...never mind.

I haven't read a lot yet but skipped straight to Tango In The Night onwards as that is what I'd anticipated being new. Unfortunately the last 25 years or so are covered in about 50 pages. The biggest difference between this and his last book seems to be that he hasn't focused much on the music. Behind The Mask is barely mentioned. I thought Time might be interesting to read about but that gets only a page or two.
Interestingly there is virtually no mention of the R&R Hall of Fame Induction (except the story of Peter playing with Santana). Some interesting bits towards the end concerning Mick's business dealings with dodgy Russian gangsters- including the fact he bought a plane with the intention of starting a Russian airline!

Will go back and start at the beginning later today.
