There’s a great clip on YT of him schooling the shit outta Keef Richards but I’m not gonna go find it right now.

The guy was SO down at the stone cold nuts of what RnR is, that I’ve wondered if it will be able to survive his passing. Lotta ppl playing RnR these days who never saw the map. Dangerous times ahead.

Now here’s a guy that wasn’t afraid to piss on a ho.

I saw him at the old Ritz on 9th st NYC, Ron Wood was playing with him and he called him Keith a couple of times before Ron corrected him. It was funny - because I’m thinking, this guy is so huge he doesn’t even know the Stones personnel, like he’s thinking - Oh yeah the Rolling Stones, I heard of them I think. That was in the mid 80s, :laughing:

Saw him many times at Blueberry Hill in the U City Loop. He played there every Friday night for years still doing the duck walk well into his 80’s. A real pioneer.

Chuck invented The Rock and Roll Lifestyle in 50’s, Keef and Ronnie, Brian and Eric et al. are his Children in the RRLS in the 60’s. He was entitled to be a bit addled in his twilight years.

This new gig, in the Big RnR Band Upstairs, will be the first gig in years where he hasn’t demanded to be paid up front.
