Mike literally was telling the truth here, he didn't sugar coat it hide behind anything. We may choose to have a certain level of disdain for how he chose to articulate or convey his thoughts but let me ask this question. Can we really disagree with what Mike is saying?
I think we can. Since about 1963 Brian has pretty much been saying he doesn't want to write songs with Mike anymore. Yet Mike refuses to acknowledge this, instead he tries to shift the blame to others. It's classic Narcissist behavior.
