Start Me Up (1981): RIP Charlie Watts

I'm shallow, I suppose, when it comes to listening to rock music: Aside from the tune and lyrics, I've always paid attention mainly to the singer and the lead guitarist. I couldn't tell you if Charlie Watts or John Densmore or John Bonham or Ringo Starr was good or not.

A reader on the UK Daily Mail website today prefaced his so-long-Charlie remarks with: "I'm 52, so the Rolling Stones weren't of my era..." Are you kidding? The Stones are of EVERY era...

(A p.s.: Interesting to me only: Charlie Watts has the exact same birthdate as my mother...)
