New Mick interview with Alec Baldwin

Clearly Mick decided he did want LB that much, and thus put through an offer to Lindsey designed to tip the balance towards Lindsey answering 'yes' ie, your girlfriend can come too.

Stevie, Lindsey, and Mick (not vocally) all participated in a retelling of the story on the Rumours 35 Tour where Lindsey said Mick called him and asked him to join. Lindsey said "If you take me, you've got to take my girlfriend too."

Stevie would do a happy dance on stage. Now I have no idea if Mick was ever able to hear any of this on stage while sitting at the cocktail kit

But now that story seems to be a fairytale!

They do that with a lot of stories. They’re also bad about leaving out key details if it means a more romanticized version of the story. Like, when Mick met Billy in 1981 at a Dick Clark anniversary taping, Mick neglects to mention that Billy’s drummer was Ian Wallace, Jenny Boyd’s second husband.
