The story about Mick being involved in trying to set up a UK Rolling Stone etc is true, here's a photo of Jan and Mick at Rolling Stones HQ circa spring 1969.

Seems to me that this book is a complete betrayal of fiduciary duties and accompanying confidentiality. Not to mention an "ego trip" for Prince Rupert.
But then he was the man who preferred to make his daughter the author of a book about the Rolling Stones and to dynamite Marilou Regan and her book featuring numerous fans and their thoughts and feelings about the band.

I'm not sure that we should infer this from the limited extracts we've seen. It may be much more balanced.

first hand knowledge?
anyway...no matter what is true...mick's attempt at dismissing it as a product of "bad manners" is probably
the best way to go. doubt that he wants to snipe back too much as it would only give it more attention.
i guess i don't worship these guys as men (& businessmen) enough to blindly defend them.
in the end we know very little about what makes them tick....however, as a spectator, i enjoy the
soap opera aspect of it.

only pointing out absurdity when i see it...
and i'm not defending either of them but am saying that the 'Keith is smarter than Mick' thing won't stand scrutiny and is petty sniping...same for the 'tiny todger' crap which is certainly petty sniping..
who's next with a book? that ol' Pope?

Let's face it, aside from whatever merits they might or might not have it's more "fashionable" to praise Keith over Mick, maybe just `cause even non-Stones fans know who Mick is, but not everybody (in my experience) knows who Keith is, so you sound more "inside" if you praise Keith. As Michael Lewis said, "Snobbery has a logic all its own."

Maybe so, but I don't see your logic at all, Title5Take1. Rupert's quotes in the article are excerpts, the full book may tell a different story. He may be very critical of Keith in other parts of the book, we just don't know yet. I think the newspaper picked the most sensational quotes to rachet up the readership and get a response from Mick. In any case, I really doubt that Prince Rupert would be interested in praising Keith because it makes him sound like an insider, he was an insider.

What is it with people not giving Jagger his due? Who found Rupert in the first place? Who kept the band together while Keith was shooting half of Afghanistan into his arm? Just because Keith seems more approachable, and we know he can be as phony as anyone, Mick gets cut down. Mick has the right to keep employees like Lowenstein at arms length.
