I think you’re 100% right, and your explanation makes total sense. Another reason to like Billy so much.

I found it so interesting that Mick (and maybe John) made the call to invite someone other than Billy to join FM. I’m beginning to realize how much of the final decision making seems to depend on Mick. When it comes to the band, he’s pretty ruthless- not in a cutthroat way, but how he separates the band from his personal life. Billy is a good friend of his, yet Mick didn’t cave and let him rejoin. Ouch. Yet maybe that was a good decision, I don't know. Just very telling to me.

I want to hang out and have a beer with Billy!
