Really good documentary!! It was a South Bank special, si I reckon it will/would of been shown in the UK.
Talked about his passion for art and music.
Couple of highlights where Ronnie going mental at the manager at the art gallery where he sets up his work. The guy had moved around some of Ronnie's artwork to different places of the room, and Ronnie cracked the shits and started moving the paintings himself, in the middle of this huge function.
Jo Wood talking about how he was drinking too much and she turned to Mick to come over to Ireland and sit down with him and state that he had to give up the booze otherwise he would not make the Licks tour.
You can tell by Ronnie's reaction that he found it really hard to give up the booze and ciggerettes, and that there is an emotional tone to his voice when discussing it!!
