And where is he these days? No, I'm not mocking him, I'd like to know because he is good but he is the one who has disappeared.
And you missed the other point where the slam originated from Jagger. I would say they both are very respected in the music industry. Look at all the musicians who have wanted to perform with Gabriel. War of words are insignificant. They aren't worth taking sides, OR DECIDING the future SN.
