That's a damn fine pic of you and Mac, Bitch. I seem to detect a bit of spirited mischief there!

I asked him about his personal life, and he told me his wife Kim passed away but his heart will always belong to her and no other, she was the love of his life. But he seemed pleased that I was interested in him and we talked at his table as he signed autographs of his book. Wonderful, talented, sweetheart of a man and his book is good too. The pics are a few year old, taken in NYC.

Oh, Bitch - I didn't mean to imply that you were hitting on Mac - but if you were, hell, good on you! He was one of the better looking/ preserved guys of all his contemporaries (must have got sober long before many others) Plus you look very cute (and mischievious!) in that pic.
Yeah, I was aware of his wife Kim's death, and he had stated in several interviews that he just didn't want to be with any one else. In fact there's an excellent and very funny interview with him from just a few months ago where he talks about writing a new song about how hard it is to go on a date after 33 years of marriage. I'll track it down and post it here.

Here comes everybody.

Mick's silence is deafening. My guess is Keith will show up to Bobby Keys funeral but none of them will bother for Mac. Maybe Ronnie and possibly Keith, but I won't hold my breath.

Mac's passing is just awful. He was such a magical musician. He was still making great records by himself and always had interesting things to say. Just a true shame that the Stones didn't have it in them to invite him to play more often.

How many of the other hundreds of musicians Mac played with haven't issued public statements? No one knows who's going to who's funeral. It's no one's business unless you're family or a friend.

Fair enough but they do have a tendency not to say much about people who added such magic to the Stones. Also, I understand the hundreds of other musicians who haven't not spoken, but he's bloody Mick Jagger and it would be nice for a permanent A lister to issue a statement and put Mac's name in lights. As for the funeral, it's sort of the same issue. It will make people take notice of a spectacular musician. It just bothers me how the Stones, more than almost any other band, have no desire to properly embrace their past.

Thanks for posting the link to the article, Mr. Yeats – really enjoyed it. Funny candid bit at the end about the R&R HOF & wanting to kill Green Day and G&R (can’t really blame the guy, especially considering the circumstances).

Thanks also to those who’ve posted all the great pics on this thread – many are new to me and I’ve enjoyed seeing them (and Bitch, that is a fabulous shot of you & Mac together – you’re both beaming!).

Just want to share the beautiful words Mac wrote about his beloved wife, Kim:

"She is my shining light and always will be. Her life was a testament to love and healing and everyone who met her felt the glow from this warm, loving and giving being. She means everything to me but I know we'll be together again in a better place. She is a flower and a dream, and finally the Angel she always was...Her family and friends are spread all over the world but the outpouring of love for her is just a reflection of the love she gave. She said, "You get what you give" and as always she's absolutely right. Kim is an Angel, finally."
