Charlie Watts...dead at 80

I liked him…he was the “silent” driving force behind the Stones for so long.

He was a great drummer, and IMO the sanest of the Stones.

The Discord & Rhyme podcast tweeted:

Charlie Watts wasn’t Mick Jagger’s drummer: Mick Jagger was Charlie Watts’ singer.

Sums it up pretty nicely I think.

RIP sir.

Damn!

I’ve seen the Stones five times over the years beginning in the '70s and I’ve always thought there would be one more time in my future. :disappointed_relieved:

RIP Charlie.

Yes, but the bar isn’t really set all too high there, is it?

Yes. I felt the same way about Tom Petty. “Oh yeah, he always comes to Toronto, I’ll see him next time.” and then…

It seems that time waits for no one.
