I still think we could have found a better stickman..................

He just sits there keeping the engine thrummin'. Peerless.

CHARLIE CHARLIE CHARLIE

Paris 2 we started chanting that after his intro.

When the Rolling Stones surfaced in 1963/1964 Charlie and Bill were the best possible backbone a young band could wish for! They were sooooooo much better than the backbones of all the other young bands that surfaced in those days (and that's an understatement). A solid rhythm machine, the best locomotive around.
Brian and Keith knew what they wanted. And Mick, he was the luckiest frontman in the world.
Congratulations Charlie!

55 and counting...amazing...keep on rolling Charlie.
