Despite her negativity, Billy gave her several chances to rejoin the band, but she refused. He was doing that for the fans because he knows so many SP fans would love to see her back.

@@alukuhito Appreciate the update. That's rough. Sometimes it's hard to blame people because a lot of these situations are due to bad childhoods, not necessarily even being poor, but experiencing some form of neglect or abuse, so drugs become an outlet, and a very understandable one. Most of the world turns to becoming corporate soulless zombies instead, which is generally socially acceptable. This isn't to say D'Arcy probably f'd up somehow, but the other side is that at least she didn't turn to exploitative corporatism. But then again, I guess everyone's got a story. It's unfortunate that she didn't take Billy on his invites, but maybe she has her reasons. Appreciate your update though and I'll do some googling to see what's up...though I bet a lot of it second and third hand stories. I'm still super thankful for her part in SP. Hopefully she can recover from the other issues.

Watch Billy's rapid eye blinks as he reacts to D'arcy saying there is 6 different versions to 30 songs. He's taking her comment as a personal criticism of himself.

@jetrobertsdj

For sure. Billy admitted (Rogan podcast) he was often dismissive of the others' contributions because he was the strongest personality and embraced taking the creative credit, media attention, adulation, SONGWRITING money, etc. So he quickly became more famous, richer and more of a controlling presence creatively, promotionally and business wise. Everyone became disenchanted with each other and they began suing each other. Now that Billy is older, he has a healthy perspective and has tried to mend fences -- and make money for everyone -- but some wounds won't heal. Even in the 90s, how many MTV interviews did poor James just sit silently through and stare at his shoes? 😆

And in the bits where she tries to interact w him here he won't look at her and never cracks a smile even when she's smiling and trying to act like a bandmate.
