RE: RE: Which Book On The Stones Is The One...

One criticism about SA, has always been Bill's 'obsession' with keeping track in the book of things like gig fees and his bank accounts and such. It is really apparent that those people were not paying attention whenhe was talking about his childhood, as the Perks family were pretty much dirt poor for most of it. And that really is one thing that always set Bill apart from the rest of then band, as they were all pretty much better off than Bill when young. I mean, the Jones family was pretty well off, as Lewis Jones was an electronics engineer; Joe Jagger was a esteemed professor, so while not rich, still very middle class for postwar Britain; the Watts family was working class, but Charlie's dad had a good solid job with British Rail. And even though Keith's mom was a divorced, mom, one has to think Bert was sending her something, with his good job with GE. But Bill and his family were POOR. Even he admits that his early life sounds like something out of Dickens.

Another thing different, is that Bill was old enough to be aware of what was going on during the war, so that gives him a little more perspective on it than the rest of them.
