Hertz Donut: Celebrating Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts, with Stuart Berman

Few bands have more legendary recording, touring and partying stories than what some consider the greatest rock group ever, the Rolling Stones. Now, imagine being the guy who served as the drummer across six decades, while also being the old soul who opted to stay in his hotel room and sketch in his diary instead of attending the most fabled festivities of music lore. Charlie Watts, who passed away at the age of 80 last week, was a unique pillar for Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, cementing himself as the backbone and resident adult for a group often plagued by its indulgence. Then again, he did once punch Jagger in the face (we'll get to that). Joining us to celebrate one of music's most iconic drummers is writer Stuart Berman, who has been a contributor for "Pitchfork" since 2006.
