fucking hell love their early stuff, so underappreciated, overshadowed by their later stuff, not hugely but still. Watts was there the entire time.

Another one great musician left us, and a great one with a very peculiar drum style. R.I.P. hard Charlie.

read a story once about how charlie, after reading an interview with jagger in which mick referred to him as “my drummer”, walked up to his room, punched him in the face, and said “youre MY fucking singer”.
