Another piece of my youth gone. R.I.P. Charlie. He wasn't your typical rocker and led a relatively quiet life.

In the '80s, intoxicated Jagger phoned Watts's hotel room in the middle of the night, asking, "Where's my drummer?" Watts reportedly got up, shaved, dressed in a suit, put on a tie and freshly shined shoes, descended the stairs, and punched Jagger in the face, saying: "Don't ever call me your drummer again. You're my f***ing singer!"
