"Had Mike spent the next ten years touring, like Pink Floyd, I am sure that he would have become one of the biggest rock star in the world." - Richard Branson

Instead of being a respectable, unique, soulful, inspirational genius you mean? Oh yes, I'd much rather he was a big rock star. :|

Yeah - I think maybe what R.B. really meant was that he would have made even more money out of Mike's unique, soulful, inspirational genius than he did!

I guess I just think he turned out okay without pandering to Bransons wishes of shoving him into the public head- first. :D

He certainly did! I do wonder though (and I'm probably going 'off topic' here) how things would have turned out if he hadn't attended the Exegesis seminar?
