I just heard. There are those who consider The Stones Charlie's band, not Mick & Keith's. I guess Steve Jordan now has a full-time job ;-) . I love the pictures of Charlie on stage, smirking at Mick's "antics". Charlie was a hardcore Jazz fan, unimpressed by his own Rock 'n' Roll stardom.
By the way: what is the "Keif" thing all about? I never received that memo.
I listen too 'Exile on Main Street' and 'Between the Buttons' fairly regularly. What I loved about Charlie Watts was an anticipated kick that gave the Rolling Stones its drive and energy. As simple as those fills seemed to be, they took me by surprise every time. Plus he was also a visual artist and illustrator. May he remain in our blessed memories.
