Huge fan of Keith Richards being like “lol” until he realized “oh shit wait I need that jacket”

My favorite part of the story was when Keith puts Charlie’s punch into drumming terms, “balance and timing”

Charlie Watts punching Mick Jagger and saying, “you’re MY singer” will always be my guy. RIP to a man who knew his substantial value. pic.twitter.com/WG28oRVwNI
