80 years - not bad for such a crazy life. But a bit sad anyway. Thanks for all the great grooves!

One anecdote relates that in the mid-1980s, an intoxicated Jagger phoned Watts's hotel room in the middle of the night, asking, "Where's my drummer?" Watts reportedly got up, shaved, dressed in a suit, put on a tie and freshly shined shoes, descended the stairs, and punched Jagger in the face, saying: "Never call me your drummer again."

The Bill Wyman documentary (The Quiet One, I think that’s the name) makes him seem likable.
