In Praise of Charlie Watts

I think Charlie Watts is more than a wee bit great. Like fucking brilliant. Like, one of the best drummers ever. In fact I wrote about Charlie in my wee e-book called Drummers You Just Can’t Beat. But if you want a bigger book about how great Charlie Watts is (my e-book is about 19 […]

My first time seeing The Rolling Stones – the whole family went to it, up in Auckland. Good show. Good setlist. A buddy had a ticket too, was supposed to come with us – he had some family reunion (of the more formal kind, not just a gathering at a Stones gig) and was gutted […]
