Was Mick's Book 'Filled With Lies'?

Nope. I think Stevie is the one who looked the worst. Mick really painted her as an airhead and someone who really didn't care about the band after awhile. We all know that really isn't true, but that was his depiction of her. The only parts I found really derogatory when it came to Lindsey was the whole "Tango" incident, which has never been coroborrated. The only thing that has been said was that Stevie attacked him, no one said that Lindsey slapped her and slammed her over the hood of a car except for Mick. I mean, his told an outrageous tale: Lindsey and Stevie screaming obscenities at each other while they chase each other up and down Christine's driveway, exploding in violence on Lindsey's part. It's a rather big pill to swallow.

The rest of the book? Eh. Not only was it badly written, but many of the details were hazy because he couldn't remember anything. He had Davis research all the stuff because he couldn't put pen to paper and write down the stuff because the coke rotted his brain. Not only was the book disrespectful to the people he had been together with for years, but it was just a blatant attempt at making money. It's a piece of trash.

As for the many other incidents that Mick described in his book, bleh. He made himself out to be the one who smelled like a rose after wallowing in ****. He painted quite the pretty picture of himself while casting a dark shadow onto almost everyone else. It's simply a tabloid rehash written in the first person.
