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.
