USELESS INFO TUESDAY

~ At age 47, the Rolling Stones' bassist, Bill Wyman, began a relationship with 13 year old Mandy Smith, with her mother's blessing. Six years later, they were married, but the marriage only lasted a year. Not long after, Bill's 30 year old son, stephen, married Mandy's mother, age 46.
