Miguel Sanchez Posted August 29, 2021 Author Share Posted August 29, 2021 Week 35 update One death this week, former Rolling Stone, Charlie Watts: Charlie Watts obituary | Charlie Watts | The Guardian Quote Despite becoming one of the greats of rock’n’roll, the dapper and deadpan Charlie Watts, who has died aged 80, spent more than 60 years doing his second-favourite job. Watts applied himself diligently to the task of being the rock-steady heartbeat of the Rolling Stones, but what he always yearned to do was play jazz. Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington and Miles Davis were his musical idols, and his playing was inspired by jazz drummers such as Elvin Jones, Roy Haynes and Philly Joe Jones. Watts’s career with the Stones ran from the cramped clubs of Britain’s early-1960s blues boom to the international stadium tours that became their metier. Through it all, he seemed determined to be as self-effacing as anybody could be as a member of perhaps the world’s most high-profile rock band. Nonetheless, the group fully understood his value to them. Keith Richards, in particular, often acknowledged how fundamental Watts was to the Stones’ sound, perhaps not least because he was prepared to make space for the churning rhythmic drive of his guitar. The crisp economy of Watts’s drumming, both swinging and muscular, was remarkable for its absence of frills or fuss, freeing the rest of the band to express themselves around it. I also enjoyed reading these accounts from Stewart Copeland (the Police) and Max Weinberg (the E Street Band) about how influential Watts was: ‘Not just a drummer – a genre’: Stewart Copeland and Max Weinberg on Charlie Watts | Charlie Watts | The Guardian I'm not going to post a video of his drumming because pretty much everyone in the world knows who the Rolling Stones are. Watts died at 80, so he's worth 45 Base Points. He was a Solo Shot for @ThomCat for an extra 50 and a total of 95 points. As a result, the standings look like this: 1. Ned Nederlander 627 2.
