I happened to be reading an interview from Mick in the mid nineties and it's very long. Probably one of the longest he's ever gave, considering it's one of his least favorite things to do. So I'm reading through it and I happen to stumble into the Mick Taylor part of it. He's answering some things on him and I latch onto this part:
Quote:
WENNER: What about the contribution of Mick Taylor to the band in these years?
JAGGER: I think he had a big contribution. He made it very musical. He was a very fluent, melodic player, which we never had, and we don’t have now. Neither Keith nor [Ronnie Wood] plays that kind of style. It was very good for me working with him. Charlie and I were talking about this the other day, because we could sit down – I could sit down – with Mick Taylor, and he would play very fluid lines against my vocals. He was exciting, and he was very pretty, and it gave me something to follow, to bang off. Some people think that’s the best version of the band that existed.

I thought, "Are you hinting something? I smell faggotry...". I just happen to latch onto anything that might suggest gay. I can't help it.
