Old friends

Marc Chagall, painter

Bill Wyman, bass player, photographer, one-time Rolling Stone

When taking up residency in the South of France, unexpected alliances ensue.

The first time I'd met Chagall, he said, "Oh, your hair's too long!" I responded: "Yeah, but we started it in 1962 - we were the first pop musicians with long hair." "Ah," he said, "you're the originators. That's OK." He'd thought we were copyists, and in the art world you don't copy. -Bill Wyman
