Sounds like writing books not Bill's forte.

I wonder. How many books have YOU written?

Bill has done quite a few. From memory...Stone Alone, Rolling With The Stones, Stones' Cartoons, Chagall (2 versions), Blues Odyssey, plus several non-trivial books on archeology in the UK.

By any rational measure that's a good score.

Right on Captain, couldn't agree more and he also managed to play his bass for 30 years in a pretty good band!

And, not forgetting The Rhythm Kings - a band that's always worth seeing when they perform near where you live! They have been touring regularly since (late) 1997.

I liked Bill a lot! Besides being with him on four tours, we socialized. Astrid my wife at the time, he and I stayed at his castle in Kent. While others dallied he was out buying antique carpets and things of value, not pissing it away on drugs... As for him being a guy--what guy wouldn't want and take advantage of girls throwing themselves at you? Bill was smart.
As to the obvious errors in his memory that I see mentioned here. I doubt he was being malicious.
