And now he supposedly wants to be a rock star? I don't think so. Too late by the way. I think he simply wants to stay active, and if he is seriously thinking about reunions, I wouldn't rule out a financial motive as well.

oh make no bones about it....he wants to be and loves being a rock star.

his definition of that is different than Stevie's but he loves the big life.

Mick hit the nail on the head in the Destiny Rules doc when he had that discussion with Lindsey where LB went on about how he didn't care about how many copies the album would sell as long as he got to make his artistic vision...and then later Mick is talking to one of the crew (I think it was Ray Lindsey) and saying that he (Mick) does not for one minute believe that Lindsey wouldn't be upset if the album didn't sell. Mick called out Lindsey for comparing himself to a film director who makes films that are great but don't sell a lot. Mick cracked that unlike that director Lindsey would NOT be happy in a one bedroom apartment in Pacoima. And Mick was right. Lindsey lived/lives a very very rich person life. His homes are LUXE. And he's made very lucrative real estate investments in LA over the decades.

What he wants from FM isn't the money as much as the prestige, the success, to still be a "player" in the biz, to be recognized for his musical genius..... to cement his legacy with a big blowout and not a quiet fading away. And he wants to compete with Stevie, always has.
