Yeah, but he hedged:

I obviously can't say if I think Mick Taylor was the best, because it sort of trashes the period the band is in now.

Watts turned 72 yesterday; showed the class the Sullivan "Let's Spend Some Time Together" clip this morning (so funny when Jagger sings the chorus and there's a close-up of Wyman rolling his eyes).

Christie's has posted everything that's listed in their auction of Charlie's book collection. It's an eye-wateringly astonishing set of books.
