He must not have been listening to Charlie Watts on drums. Or Keith Richards taking the low "E" string off his telecaster and tuning the remaining 5 strings to open "G" and making musical history.
But of course Barry was a promoter. So his job was marketing. So making what he does seem a lot more important than what the actual talent does is to be expected.
