Tampa bound and Memphis too

 


The Paris Review online has an interview with Mike Edison, a Charlie Watts biographer.


It seems like an energetic conversation.


Mr. Edison says, 

------------------------------- "Rip This Joint," which opens Exile on Main Street, is the fastest song in their whole catalog.  It's like a splatter painting.  He's gone from impressionism to extreme impressionism.  The band has gone from playing songs to playing music.  Charlie goes from just playing the drums to playing the band. ---------------------------------- [end quote]

I love "Rip This Joint."

It is fast.


Gonna raise hell at the union hall --

Drive myself right over the wall...



Dick and Pat back in old D.C.

Well, they're gonna hold some shit for me...
