Drummer Charlie Watts Almost Straight-Edge Sheep Of Rolling Stones
Written by Vegetarian Star on December 27th, 2008 in Male Musicians.
The former manager of Rolling Stones’ Ronnie Wood, Nick Cowan, has written a tell all book, Fifty Teabags And A Bottle Of Rum, detailing all the drugs, women, and alcohol you could ever shove into a memoir about a rock and roll band.
There’s juicy info about Mick Jagger, Ronnie Wood and Keith Richards, but drummer Charlie Watts has an empty chapter on that lifestyle. Known for refusing groupie action on the road and his soberness, he only had a brief period of heavier alcohol and drug use in the mid 80s.
He’s also vegetarian. Some material from the book:
At the hotel the band members retire to their respective suites. Charlie Watts, who is teetotal and vegetarian, settles in for a quiet night after his usual massage.
Mick Jagger has a rendezvous known only to his security man.
Ronnie’s suite is known as party central. All night, every night, the door is open to anyone who wants a drink and more.
Guess you could call Watts the “almost straight-edge sheep” of the otherwise bad boys of the Stones.
