Keith Richards
Waiting in line to get through airport security at MIA I got bumped by a very large guy. I turn around to face him as he says sorry I must get through with a VIP.
Turns out that it was Keith Richards. I never pictured him so tiny and frail. That guy must weigh in at less than 90lbs...

Hell, he hasn't eaten anything since the late '60's; what would you expect?

Richards is a *great* guitarist. Wrote some of the greatest hooks ever. And sounds like no one else. One of the few original players out there.

What Keith lacks in technical skill he makes up for in creativity. Some people mistake technical prowness for creativity...Eddie Van Halen, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page come to mind as posers..
The guy who combined the technical with the creative was the one and only Jimi Hendrix. All the Stones look like little dolls.

He is however THE riff master and is a brilliant composer/arranger. I happen to think he's one of the best.

I don't know. I'm not sure he has really pursued much of a solo career.
A lot of guys in his situation, money, fame, rep, no longer pursue their career in the same manner. They have reached a place where they can create for their own personal satisfaction. Has nothing to do with the commercial success of the work. After Bonham died he did not touch a guitar for years, may have been as long as 5 years IIRC. He just lost the desire.

It's hard to measure these guys.
I think you'd have a difficult time finding anyone that knows music who will say Charlie Watts is not a great drummer. The uneducated will not be impressed. Watts does not play with the flair of a Neil Pert or the abandon of a Keith Moon. He is by far a better technical drummer than either one.

I've met Keith Richards before. I got to work security, checking passes in front of the dressing room doors on the Steel Wheels tour in '89. Keith has done a LOT of living. But he played like a champ. And I got to stand a few feet away and watch Charlie Watts bang around on his kit with the mics off. That man IS one of the great ones. I remember hearing some super jazz stuff on the radio while driving in Austria once and afterwards the DJ said that was the Charlie Watts Orchestra. Love those guys!

Did you ever notice how similar Don Knotts and Mick Jagger look, or should I say "used to look" as Don Knotts is dead? Don probably looks just like Keith Richards now!
