Yeah! He lived right around the corner from me so I would often encounter him on the street. Then later when I was a big nobody in the music biz I used to go to the studio in his house. I was just "the help." But Lou was cool most of the time.

Most good art is made by people who are at odds with themselves. It shouldn't be any surprise that those people sometimes behave in contradictory ways.
As for Sounes, bad news travels faster than good news, I suppose. Maybe he aspires to be the Kitty Kelly of modern biographies.

If you haven't read Nick Kent's "The Dark Stuff" I highly recommend it. He's not very nice to Lou, but he's not very nice to anyone. The chapter on the Stones is the best as I recall (it's been a long time since I read it). Essentially, if you are not cool (and there is no exact definition of cool) you are kicked out of the Stones circle. And Kent finds himself outside the circle and you get the impression he knows he deserved it. As for Lou, he does describe him as someone in desperate need for recognition/press who can't understand why he's not getting it.
