Probably my favorite guy in all of music. Saved his money, avoided drugs, and regularly makes the English best dressed list. And he understands how things ARE.
He was in his hotel room one night after a concert. Mick Jagger and a large bunch are partying downstairs. Mick calls up to Charlie's room and invites him down. Charlie says he's not interested. Jagger screams into the phone, “I want my f#$^%ing drummer to come down here and have a drink with me.
Charlie gets up, shaves, dresses impeccably, and goes down stairs. When Jagger opens the door, Charlie punches him in the mouth. As Jagger hits the floor he says, “I'm not your F#$%ing drummer, you're my F#$%ing singer. And goes back upstairs.
It's the taking time to shave and dress that just kills me!
Charlie dabbled a little bit with drugs, especially during the Some Girls sessions, but it was Keith that wised him up, and he’s been clean ever since.
Wow, that’s great! I’m definitely putting that into the files!
Too funny! I love the Stones.
