On Four Flicks there's a couple of select-a-Stone segments, and in its own way, it's fascinating to watch Charlie. At times he seems detached, just getting into the groove, at others he's watching Keith & Mick intently, waiting for cues, and occasionally you see a big smile.

Now, being a bassplayer, I didn't often look at the drummer, unless he did something drastically right or drastically wrong.

However, I like watching Charlie play -- his impeccable sense of timing and perfectly-placed cymbal crashes make him a great example of how to play with no wasted motion. This is how he continues to keep the engine pounding away at the age of 65.

I got Four Flicks for Christmas. I've watched Charlie on these already, and you're right. He's actually having a much better time back there than I ever thought. He's also much more involved in the overall scheme of things than I ever imagined. I've maintained that Charlie could NOT be talked into yet another massive tour in a couple of years, but if he spends the next two years relaxing and attending to his own interests, he maybe could be possibly coaxed somewhat.

Stumbled over an article about the Stones' kids,
nice pics of Charlie with his daughter Seraphina etc...
