The amount of time given to Bill Wyman will be a big problem for some people (10-15 minutes). He plays some old stuff of his computer, points out (with delight and amazement) Jones's contribution. As someone who, as much as humanly possible, tuned out on the Rolling Stones 35 years ago, I was kind of shocked by something that wouldn't surprise anyone who continued to pay attention: this old grey-haired man is Bill Wyman? The version of him that I carry in my head goes back to 1975.

Here's Bill from a couple of days ago, signing for fans at a modest table-for-one in a specialty foods grocery store (the baked goods counter seems to be behind him):

Love it though, he really doesn't miss the life the Stones are leading now.

I'm pretty sure I've seen that guy playing euchre at the community center in town.

It's funny how his desk looks exactly like my parents' desk, from the printer he's using to the small department store picture frames to the small office supply holder with the standard orange-handle scissors. (FWIW, my parents hate rock music and never took part in that side of the culture.)

Looks like a nice friendly old paedophile.
