You know, Mike isn't stupid, and I can't imagine that he is
malevolent. The only option that I have left is that he's in urgent
and dire need of money to such an extent that he has to take whatever
way he can to get some, in which case I personally think that we
should just let him harvest from everybody ELSE and be quietly
disappointed about it not being the product we were dreaming of
finding ourselves...

I recall seeing a brief clip of the Moodies long ago on television
around 1970 or 1971 that showed Mike at a Hammond playing "Tuesday
Afternoon" and I remember thinking "this CAN'T be right" to myself at
the time as although I had not yet got a good look at our favorite
magical instrument I had already been a Hammond player for five or
six years and knew that they just didn't sound like THAT!
