Quotewith sssoul Quotenick1970 I like Keith’s shirt as well. He looks very cool! I came here looking for some good shots of it, to see the patternn on the front and back. I shall keep seeking :E I think I need to see it zipped up and standing still. It seems to include an allusion to the cover of Hot Rocks, and some writing along the hem. Intriguing.

The Beatles don't rate instruments? One of them appears to have no pants either. I seem not to be the target audience for these items.

Thanks for responding, Irix. The press/media say what they say, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's accurate. And in 2014 Mick left Australia before the others, probably heading to NYC before LA. He didn't want to be harrassed while grieving and I hope he wasn't. I just get pained when people judge the Stones harshly on the basis of guesswork. Who told the newspaper

jumpingjackflash5, your monotonous boom boom boom cutting through the thread every two or three posts is really tiresome, especially when you start busily planning what the band must/should/can do. Let go of their ears – they know what they're doing. I'm happy people enjoyed the show; that's what it was for. If it was hard for us to see photos of that final bow, how hard

Just to note in passing: We also don't know whether Mick and/or Keith and/or Ronnie attended Charlie's funeral. When L'Wren died Mick went to NYC right away, but left a "decoy" in Australia so no one knew he'd left and no media harassed him in his grief. They act as they deem fit and no one should be judging them on the basis of guesswork. Blessings on the R

I'm still struggling to come to terms with this. Beautiful inimitable irreplaceable Charlie has died, and my most-loved, most glorious forever band are brokenhearted. And they are trying to go on with a planned tour anyway, for their beloved Charlie, and because they are Rolling Stones. Blessings on all of them, for good.

Forum: Tell Me

Was it here or on Rock's Off that the mother of a highly respected member lived next door to the Wattses, and confirmed that Charlie's mother was indeed Jewish. To some people (wicked and otherwise) that means Charlie is Jewish, whatever his personal beliefs are. But it's hard to imagine that dictating to him.

Funeral Blues Various lines of this poem by WH Auden keep circling my head. I know it's inappropriate in a few ways, but it's beautiful, it has cool rhythms, and change or two can make it for Charlie. Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the guitars to hear the silent drum. Bring out the coffin, let the mourners
