Your right but as he mentioned in interviews, he doesn't have any hobbies so there are two option sitting around the house watching Shirley taking care of the horses or going on the road and see the world...and keep in good shape.
Thanks Charlie............for choosing the second option
"And what else can a poor boy do
Except to drum for a rock 'n' roll band"

No hobbies?
Charlie has a very dry sense of humour....so best not to take such comments too literarly!

the great, modest, tasteful, soulful drummer is the main reason the Rolling Stones still exist..
he could have retired, like Bill Wyman, long ago, but he didn't.
Imagine if he'd upped and quit, feeling that the Stones had peaked, say in..1974..?
he is still getting on the plane, still going out to play the music, with his friends.
Thanks, Charlie.

Charlie is everybody's darling.
Rightfully so!
A question to the drummers around here: how challenging is an average Stones setlist
for a drummer?
Are there enough variations in rythm, figures and styles to keep yourself interested
as a drummer?

No there really isn't. Especially after you've played the tunes as many times as Charlie has and when your personal tastes are not the Stones style of music. I think obligated is more applicable to Charlie's playing than interested. The few times he can stretch a bit on breakdowns and improvs are few and far between. I suspect Charlie is mostly bored to death playing the warhorses but it's his job, he's well paid and he isn't going to rock the boat.
That being said, Charlie has a style which is not that easy to replicate, it's simple but it can be different, especially the way he pulls the hi hat beat when he hits the snare.
