tarquincat Group: Members Posts: 102 Joined: Aug. 2009 Posted: Aug. 09 2018, 10:02 Having recently bought a few concert DVDs & having been to see Mike twice, of course it is the music we came to hear, and some of the shows were strikingly put together. But. Does anyone feel it is a shame Mike was never able to interact with the audience ? Given that when he does get interviewed, he has so much to say ! I know he had to go through his "rebirth" just to be able to get on stage, but it does seem a sad that the witty, informative side didn't get across to the wider audience. Back to top

omgmo Group: Members Posts: 148 Joined: Mar. 2018 Posted: Aug. 16 2018, 18:38 I really don't think that he cares about being recognized as the world's greatest musician (which I probably believe he is). He just doesn't like people, as people can be rude, silly, annoying... And that doesn't mean that he is a bad person. On the contrary, I think he is a very nice man that has only done good through his rich work. Back to top
