The rolling stones article was certainly a good read - don't start it unless you have half an hour to kill. I would have liked to see the context for Ed defending Hynes. I find it hard to believe anyone from the band would want to work with him again unless they were forced to. My guess is that Taylor is in it so deep with Hynes that he's being forced to work with him on business ventures they've went in on and Hynes plans to make Taylor a sort of fall guy for whatever he can. Hynes can scrape money out of Taylor to cover the terrible investments that Hynes got Taylor into while making it all seem like it was Taylor's idea.

One thing this article did well was showcase Taylor's desperation at this time. I have no doubt that part is accurate. Of course he wants to play in the band and start making money. He's way overextended and likely facing pressures on all sides.
