Add to that..
Damn guy had 8 wives and still managed to survive to 92.

Ava Gardner (m. 1942–1943)
B.J. Baker (m. 1944–1948)
Martha Vickers (m. 1949–1951)
Elaine Devry (m. 1952–1958)
Carolyn Mitchell (m. 1958–1966)
Marge Lane (m. 1966–1967)
Carolyn Hockett (m. 1969–1975)
Jan Chamberlin (m. 1978–2014)

That earns him my respect. I'll be lucky to survive one

He had almost a Gene Krupa style and I truely believe Keith Moon copied alot of Mickey's playing style! Sort of a cross between a madman and a ballerina!
