Message from yesterday by Watt’s spokesperson…
24 August 2021
CHARLIE WATTS, the coolest drummer ever in rock history passed away today,
he was 80. The quiet Stone with the poker face joined the band in 1963. He was
the only member of the legendary British rock band alongside Mick Jagger and
Keith Richards to have featured on all of their studio albums.
Earlier this month Watts announced he couldn’t play on the upcoming Stones
tour, as he had to “rest and recuperate” following medical problems.
Rest in peace.
One of his rare interviews. With NME in 2018. Big fun…

THE ROLLING STONES topped the US Singles Chart with
PAINT IT, BLACK 55 years today on 11 June 1966.
A haunting, dark, and ominous masterstroke. The Stones
at their very mystical best. It also hit the top spot in the UK
and several countries in Europe.
No colors anymore I want them to turn black

Today 52 years ago, on 11 June 1969, The Fab Four (in this case only Paul and John were involved) topped the UK Singles Chart with BALLAD OF JOHN AND YOKO. Actually one of my all-time favorite Lennon classics. It was the band’s 17th and final Numero Uno in their native country. The song tells the story of the eventful days of the marriage of the late genius and his muse Yoko Ono. It stills sounds brilliant.
Christ, you know it ain’t easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They’re gonna crucify me…

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes…

24 April 2021
Band: THE ROLLING STONES
Active since 1962 – 23rd British and
25th American studio albums (so far).
Album: STICKY FINGERS – 9th LP
First longplayer with Mick Taylor as official Stones member.
Released: 23 April 1971 – 50 years ago
Score: No 1 in the UK, US, Canada
and several European countries
Pitchfork wrote: “Given the weight of history behind it and its centrality to the
story of both the Rolling Stones and rock music as a whole, it can be difficult to
put on Sticky Fingers and try and hear it for what it was: the highly anticipated
new album from one of the biggest bands in the world, a group that at the time
hadn’t released a new one in two years (in 1971, that was an eternity). They were
called the World’s Greatest Rock’n’Roll Band for entirely too long, but if that
designation ever applied it was here.” Full review here. Score: 10/10.
Turn Up The Volume: Nothing but sympathy for these devils.
Singles: Brown Sugar / Wild Horses
