nice post - thanks...there's an article floating around (I'm sure if you
search google you can find it) talking with SS and Fowler. Apparently
Nicklebag morphed into a new group name because of the similarity to Nickle
back. They talk a bit about Bill and how SS and BF met. Also how Fowler's
worked with the Stones for almost 30 years because Bill called him to ask
him to come to the UK to work on Jagger's first solo record. Apparently
Jagger must have really liked him.
