The Stones’ Tribute to Charlie
Mick, Keith, & Ronnie’s tribute to Charlie

Rest in peace Charlie Watts
The Rolling Stones have been part of my life since I was 12. That was when I lost my innocence: when I heard Mick bemoan his lack of satisfaction. And behind Mick’s bluesy bark and the push-pull of Keith & Brian (or Keith & Mick Taylor…or Keith & Ronnie) was the steady hand of Charlie Watts. Watch the concert videos, and it would appear the man is bored and barely playing, but close your eyes and listen to his jazz inflections, his anchored R&B rumble. Listen to how he follows Keith (rather than the other way around). Charlie was the bedrock of the Rolling Stones. It is a poorer world without him. Rest in peace, Charlie, one of the GREATEST drummers EVER.

Oh sh*t…oh Joe…
More violence?

My Dad, Vince Harrington
Thank you for being my dad. You didn’t have to be, but you chose the role, and my life was so much better for it.
