Mick wrote a lyric that famously included John Wayne . . .
. . . which need not be repeated here.
Watts, Moon, and Baker all lived part of their formative years in Wembley. There must be something special in the local water supply.
And, if Axel can front for AC/DC, Simon can lend a hand to the Wembley Whammer. Yup, that's how Mick refers to Charlie during introductions.
Thank You, My Friend...
... is it dark there yet? The moon looks full but it's very bright here today, so hard tell.
You knew . . .
. . . this was coming. Btw, I've been checking video clips of the current Stones tour, and it doesn't look like Charlie's got a partner on percussion. Seventy-eight and going strong! Art
That's the ultimate Stones trivia question! . . .
. . . I was referring, though, to your prior musing that Charlie might have a partner on this tour, which I found understandable considering how long in the tooth he is. Art
The Rumor I Heard Was...
... It's Kenney Jones. A friend of mine is a biz manager for a couple of the heavy hitters and said he saw an older 'gent' sitting in for Charlie. Who better than RnR HOF'r, Kenney Jones. Who, mind you, is 71.
Simon Kirke, maybe? . . .
. . . or Ian Paice? They should be available. Just checked several recent concert videos on Youtube and the only drummer I can see is Charlie, so maybe Kenny sat in on a rehearsal. And now, for the ultimate drummer trivia question: What do Charlie, Keith,...
Mmmm . . . no, but rumor has it . . .
. . . The Duke . . . . . . used to hang out there in the good ol' days. This was before Maggie was even born, much less before she started serving cocktails at the seaside dive bar. ...
Well, after 39 shows over 41 years . . .
. . . and a 40th four weeks from this coming Thursday, I should know a thing or two about them ;-) . . .
Art's Rolling Stone Knowledge Is...
... Both uncanny and unparalleled. Stones Archaeologist.
Back in the early '80s, I was visiting the Bay Area . . .
. . . when a local rock station, KSFX, held a celebration of the Stones on Easter weekend aptly titled Roll Away the Stone with the Rolling Stones . The celebration was a broadcast of every officially released Stones track in alphabetical order. As they w...
Stop The Clock...
... Simon Kirke? From Bad Company? Me thinks not. Ian Paice? The "Highway Star" is knee deep in purple. Yes, he's amazing, but I don't see him with the Stones. As far as your trivia question, I didn't see your post soon enough to get in my two cents, but ...

I just figured out . . .
. . . the disconnect, Scott. When you first said Charlie might have company, I presumed you meant onstage with him, and not outright replacement. Obviously, Simon and Ian have their own gigs . . . I was throwing their names out as candidates to help out, ...
Same Was True When...
... We went to see "Yes" last year. Alan White would play three songs then limp off the stage with debilitating back pain. Steve Howe's son would pick up on the drums and being no stranger to the music, was able to handle some of the more difficult transi...
Ah! Lovely Selene!
One of my faves. I’ve been thinking about adding one of these babies to my collection 😀 Well played!
