A article and lots of great photos on the Guardian site.

I really enjoyed them when Brian Jones was alive, but he could not handle drugs like Keith. Glad Keith is drug free (still smokes). But it just won't be the same with out Charlie and Bill (Bill is still alive he just left the Stones).

RIP Charlie.

Remember that tour, around the year 1997 AD. I spoke outside the stadium, passed out some pieces of papers with the word on it, along with some others. Their Album, Their Satanic Majesties, is a volume which caught many. There's the Light. And there's Rolling Stones wanting to Paint in Black. Sympathy For the Devil, the signature of their hope.

Charlie, did you take it to the end? Because I used to love her(him), but it's all over now.

What word was that? Music? Or "I'm_an_Idiot?"

Well then, why don't you specify what the word is? Or are you just trying to speak ill of the recently deceased?

The Bridges of Babylon Tour was in 1997. Those words were delivered 24 years ago. I've spoken no ill will of anyone. I just called them Amazing Musicians. I'm wondering if those words (lyrics) of the Rolling Stones worked out well.
