Captain Shakespeare at your service.Originally posted by All-American View PostThat’s about the least romantic way I have ever heard it described."Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."
Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

The other day after I busted your chops I thought to myself, "He will probably make an obligatory nice comment now and then shortly thereafter complain about not getting enough credit for it."

Those folks are just intolerable."

I’ve always been skeptical of the story.Originally posted by HBCoug View PostIt would be crazy to hear Mick's version of the encounter. There are always two sides.
It seems unlikely that Cook would be flying business or first class or that Jagger would be flying coach.
If they did fly together, my guess is that the conversation was short and that Jagger was too stoned to retain any recollection.Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.

Yeah, that story always sounded fishy to me too. Or perhaps Jagger saw the uptight dude next to him and decided to have a little fun with his conversation. Probably after a few drinks.Originally posted by Green Monstah View PostI’ve always been skeptical of the story.

How could you even know this?! For all you know, some of our members here have been shagging each other on the reg as a direct result of your posts.Originally posted by HBCoug View PostYou had never heard this story before? It has served as inspiration for me for years and my posting style is calculated to drive members of this board to sex. Thus far it's effectiveness has gone: poorly.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

I was highly skeptical of the Cook/Jagger story from the beginning. Jagger flying alone from Mexico to Texas at the height of his fame? My guess is that Cook was sincere but was duped by some dude who looked like Jagger and decided to have some fun once he realized Cook had bought into his schtick.
