I've always wondered (and given we've had a fake Peter Green and a fake Jeremy Spencer in the past), if Mick on this occasion was being honest. What if the "Mick" the band met wasn't really Mick. What if that was why he wouldn't rehearse with them. I mean put any really tall guy in a hat and sunglasses and with an English accent, and you could fool people in to thinking it was Mick. He's not the most coherent guy, so you just have to make a few noises and mumble a bit.

The whole premise of the fake FM was that people didn't really know what the band looked like. Could that have worked on Elmer Gantry and co?
