Its amazing to thing that Keith Richards is currently on tour in Merica with the Stones.

The undead cant die

Was always a Beatles rather than Stones fan. But there was no avoiding either of them. A part of my younger life.
RIP.

One of the very very best - the end of a very long era.

Do you think he knows he is?

Haha. Fair point.

I guess like Jagger, he has carefully cultivated a "Stones" persona.

A fitting Jagger/Watts anecdote: "An intoxicated Jagger phoned Watts's hotel room in the middle of the night, asking, "Where's my drummer?" Watts reportedly got up, shaved, dressed in a suit, put on a tie and freshly shined shoes, descended the stairs, and punched Jagger in the face, saying: "Don't ever call me your drummer again. You're my [Poor language removed] singer!"

If you told Watts in the 70’s that he would live until he was 80, and Richards and Jagger would outlive him, I’d bet he would think it was you who was tripping..

Charlie Watts.

Best dressed man in the afterlife.

Without question - I think they'd all admit that themselves.

Alexis Korner got them together. After convincing Watts that Jagger & Jones were proper Blues students. Richards was always more Chuck Berry. (Nowt wrong with that, but not Blues).
