I've said before that perhaps I am the only person in the world who wakes up every day and thinks about the Rolling Stones. I don't think there's anything weird about that. That's just my precursor to this:

I have a great documentary for you, Stones fan or not. It's called The Quiet One, and it's the story of Bill Wyman, who was the original bass player for the Rolling Stones. Wyman played with them for three decades — and then quit!

Who quits the Rolling Stones?

Well, Wyman did! And he's a really interesting character because throughout his entire time in the band, he was archiving everything. Everything.

The perspective he has is that, "Yeah, I was in the Stones for 30 years, it was a blast; it was a gas, gas, gas. But — what did I do with my life? It was kind of a blur."

And so in order to go back and sort of see what his life was, Wyman has spent all of this time putting together this incredible collection. It's museum worthy. It's amazing.

This is a great documentary. I watched it on Hulu, but it's streaming wherever movies are.
