Charlie Watts, drummer for The Rolling Stones, died today. The Stones are probably second only to the Beatles in term of stature un the world of Rock and Roll, and gave us numerous iconic songs. And Charle Watts was their drummer since 1963. He was 80. RIP for him, condolences to his family and band mates.
We’ve lost some big names in the past few weeks: Dusty Hill (ZZ Top - 7/28), Don Everly (Everly Brothers - 8/21) and now Charlie Watts (Rolling Stones - 8/24). I suppose it is one of the inevitable parts of life. As we get older, our childhood heroes get older still. I was listening to Everly Brothers yesterday, switched over to the Stones today.
What’re YOUR favorite Stones songs?
