Because I had to do everything in bits and pieces, I was never quite satisfied when I finished a solo album or a soundtrack because I knew I could have done them better if I could have focused on them 100% until they were done.

bill born fans george name older perhaps resigned rolling stone stones william
I resigned myself to this eventuality. After all, it was the musician's name first (he's a lot older than I am, certainly, and perhaps more famous), and . . . But then I remembered. . . . Bill Wyman the Rolling Stone wasn't born Bill Wyman. . . . His real name, Stones fans know, is William George Perks.
