One of the many great rock legends that will be dropping all over the world. ZZ Top last month and now the Stones will just not be the same with a core member gone.

Wow. Not the news I wanted to hear today.
One of the fittest 80 year olds on the planet, at least seemingly. RIP Mr. Watts.

That seems sudden and unexpected. Sad, but the life of an 80 YO rock musician who likely worked 70 of those years performing at one level of another has got to take a toll. We've all wondered how Keith has managed to survive.

“No one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away, until the clock wound up winds down, until the wine she made has finished its ferment, until the crop they planted is harvested. The span of someone’s life is only the core of their actual existence.”

I was never a big Stones fan except a few really incredible songs...but Charlie Watts just had a look, a way about him that even as a 10 year-old I got.
I know nothing about him other than he seemed like he had a perspective on life I should have known more about.
