“I don’t have a - what do you call it? - machine thing [computer]... I don't have a mobile phone, either... a) I don’t need one and b) I've got no interest, really. I mean, I must admit I'm a bit of a charlatan when it comes to the mobile, because I'll often say - to Mick, for example - "Can I borrow your phone?" But I don't actually possess one of my own. Nor does Keith, by the way, who doesn't use a telephone at all. Very rarely. He very rarely rings anyone. He faxes people. He writes the best faxes in the world, but he's not a telephone man.”

Charlie Watts, 2010

#adorable rock star Luddite grandpas #It’s also so funny that Keith’s method of communication #means everyone else could throw out their fax machines by that point #I’m sure Charlie didn’t care #but it probably drove Mick insane #mick also being the one who bought Charlie a laptop and multiple iPads over the years. all for watching cricket together #the rolling stones #charlie watts #keith richards #old married band #mick jagger #quote
