In the Belgian weekly Humo an interview with Charlie. He says he don't get the thrills anymore while touring with the Stones. "It has become a routine job." His ultimate love for Charlie Parker. He dreamed to play with Parker's band even when the Stones were already world-famous. The fact he considers himself not as a really skilful drummer: "The band I'm in is fantastic but I am not". His visits with Ian Stewart to jazz clubs. The first time he saw B.B. King in Detroit: "Fantastic. I will never forget that." And he refutes the fact that touring with the Stones is exciting. If the Stones would stop Charlie won't regret it. He'd say: "Thanks for so many great years."

Unfortunately, I can't have this magazine.... Anyway, thanks a lot F505.
I hope Charlie don't want to quit his work, at least, for the next 10 years. I hope!! We need them!! We (Rolling Stones frenzy fans) are not accustomed with the idea of the boys stop one day, because they are Licking for 40 years....They don't know the STOP button.

Yeah...but hasn't he always been kinda like that? If he doesn't get off on it, why not the follow up question..."well..WHY are you still doing it?" Money? Loyalty to the band? Blood Contract??
WHY WHY WHY????? LOL. |

Well Motherbaby, Charlie states he's nevertheless proud to be in the band. I think he don't want to let Keith and the others down. Besides it's the only way for him to have a social life because he's living as a hermit in his farm. He sees literally nobody except some sheep and a lost farmer.  |

Hi JB....I was out last night at a bar near where I'm now working and got to playing the Juke box. Only One Stones record on it though...Rewind. At any rate I broke down and played some Beatles on it and I got to brooding and thinking about some of your posts. And it dawned on me that I'm starting to come around to your way of thinkig. LOL.
Especially the Macca songs...that's some nasty stuff. |

Yeah...Macca put me in a bad mood last night...brooding about how overrated he is. And I took it out on poor Charlie LOL. Far be it for me to dictate other peoples taste in music....but Macca???? Will someone PLEASE close the curtain on that act! Oh I suppose some people like him. |
