Just reread Mick Middles book (yes I have time on my hands :-) ) and right at the end he says:
"Why should we still listen to this?" whilst musing on Mac's penchant for still playing the rock star even after several years in the wilderness, as it were, but having jyust released their comeback album, tour, fezzie dates in a fur coat etc and then he says:
"Perhaps because the alternative can be seen swaggering off a plane in New Zealand, shouting at cameramen and confronting frightened fans."
So what's he on about? Thought it migth be an Oasis reference. No prizes, just for fun etc........
