bill said that France was great
and when the interviewer said: Great people he said: fuck off, meaning not
even claiming he did not make that much money with the stones, well he made more money then I ever will!
He is a great player, but a bitter old men |

Where is this quoted from? I went to Bill's book signing and I found him to be pleasant and (a bit) friendly. Maybe he was happy I bought the book. |

this bit was on Dutch tv, and it was only 5 minutes, so they probably the interesting things to show this crap |

I dont agree. He knew what he was doing and he was already more than set up for life, why shouldn't he quit when he wanted to?
He didnt want to fly any more, no longer cared for the band's music and had a new family - something he'd neglected down the years with his first family and had regretted doing. As Keith put it (after he'd come to terms with him leaving), if you're NOT into it 100%, youre 'dragging' the rest of the band. He did himself and the rest of the band a favour by being honest with himself.
If anything, I cant see why he SHOULD have stayed. It takes a bit of resolve to do what he did instead of taking the easy "only in it for the money" safe option that most people would have done.
As for him being an 'idiot', I've never seen an interview with him since he left where he's given any indication that he's regretted doing what he did for a second. |

Good Morning Gazza - Will you be going to any of The Rhythm King's shows this summer? |

Wel I like Bill. I expect to see him at the RAH on the 21st of next month. With a bit of luck Ronnie'll be there, too. And on the 24th, maybe. (The Lonnie Donegan tribute, then Jeff Beck).
I'm sure Bill will be in fine fettle.
I thought the new Rhythm Kings album was great and, with a bit of luck, the DVD should arrive on Tuesday  .

>Good Morning Gazza - Will you be going to any of The Rhythm King's shows this summer?
well,I live in Belfast and he hasn't deemed the Emerald Isle worthy of a visit yet, so I doubt it. Going to mainland Britain for one show means two days off work if it's midweek and theres only a few people I'd go to that trouble to see. (I have trips to Birmingham and Glasgow comin' up next month to see The Who and Dylan respectively). I'd consider goin' to see Bill if he played in Dublin but wouldnt go as far as England to catch him.

I assume Bill is O.K. financially. However, when listening to Charlie's latest interview at a London radio station, he indicated he was sorry Bill left as they have made a lot of money from the tours since his departure and that he(Bill) had a new family and could have used the $$$.
