True indeed! Brian was just as popular as Mick was back then with the fans, and was why I liked Keith more than Mick and BJ in the mid '60s, as I always went for the underdog. The thing the fans didn't know back then, was that ALO created this wedge between them and in reality BJ was noting close to being an equal, if anything he was an outsider in his own band thanks to ALO. But because Brian was more important than Keith to the Stones up until around '66 or so (and there's no question he was), and still as important to the Stones in '67 and '68 in the eyes of the fans, even if the Glimmers wanted Brian gone by then, they felt they were stuck with him until '69, when they decided they had to make the change regardless of how their fans would feel. Had Brian not died only 3 weeks after he left, who knows how the fans would have really taken this news of him no longer being in the band. But the bottom line of the problems in the band was ALO, that and the Glimmers allowing it to happen. It bugs me today to hear ALO say that Brian was a friend of his, when he was more than half of the problem in Brian's life. I have never once listened to his radio show (is it still on?) because I don't wish to hear his lies on any of this.
