He is a complex person, like many others. I don't agree with him on religion - I think he has a poorly developed sense of what religion is, and what God might be. I would feel very disappointed if I were in Rod's shoes: all that work, and Gary shows no interest. Unfortunately, all those brilliant albums which were rubbished by the press, make for very sensitive disappointment on Gary's part. So Gary's touchiness over trying to improve on his album covers, etc., leads to him offloading the negativity on Rod. Biting the hand that tries to feed him.... As Gary has also pointed out in the past, for any performer, after-show conversations are not actually the time at which people show themselves in their best light. They are all pumped up with adrenalin, ego, inflated self-worth, etc... I think Rod is a brilliant worked for Gary. And you have to remember that Gary has been diagnosed as having Asperger's Syndrome, which explains a fair bit!
