Oh, But They're Weird and They're Wonderful

friends, together again.

Rest In Peace Charlie Watts <3

Me, retire? What am I gonna do? Mow the lawn? – Charlie Watts

I could tell that story about Charlie punching Mick in the mid-80s because he drunk-called him "his drummer" in the middle of the night and almost made him stumble out of a window and falling into the canals of Amsterdam, had Keith not saved him because he was wearing his wedding jacket, but that's old news...

so...other stories: Charlie wasn't just a jazz drummer, he actually also knew how to play the sax, he loved jazz music so much, it always was his thing, more than rock music

Charlie loved cars, he has a collection of oldtimer cars although he never got a driver's license but he would just sit in them and pretend to drive

He and Shirley really really adored dogs, they had many dogs throughout the years and some were allowed to sleep at the foot end of their bed and only last year they adopted a greyhound that was rescued from greyhound racing...

The Stones have changed their website, so that all that shows in the tab is "Charlie Watts" and the only thing available to view is a candid of him.

It’s been years and years and years I’ve been playing the drums, and they’re still a challenge. I still enjoy using drumsticks and a snare drum.
