WASHINGTON, DC—The FBI has reported that crime is “way down” in the United States, after changing the definition of crime to only include driving on rainbow crosswalks and excluding murder and theft.  “We are pleased to announce that crime is way down in the United States, and that we are now one of the safest countries in the world,” said the FBI director, who spoke on condition of anonymity. “We believe that this is the best way to ensure that the American people can live their lives without fear of crime, and to ensure that the government can continue to serve the people without distraction.”  The announcement has sent shockwaves through the political and conspiracy theory communities, with many people expressing their fear and unease about the possibility of bureaucratic obfuscation and statistical manipulation.  “This is a nightmare,” said one former prosecutor, who spoke on condition of anonymity. “I’ve always thought that the best way to defeat crime was to silence it and its supporters, and what better way to achieve that than by changing the definition of crime?”  But not everyone is convinced, and many people are calling the FBI’s decision a self-serving compromise, arguing that it is impossible for crime to be down if the definition of crime has been changed to exclude murder and theft.  “This is ridiculous,” said one skeptical observer, who spoke on condition of anonymity. “How can anyone think that it’s a good idea to change the definition of crime to only include driving on rainbow crosswalks, and then claim that crime is down?”  Despite the backlash, FBI Director Christopher Wray remains defiant, and he has vowed to continue protecting the American people from the dangers of crime and disorder.  “I know that this is a risky strategy, but I believe that it’s the right thing to do,” said the FBI director in a recent interview. “We cannot allow crime to continue to threaten the safety and security of the American people, and I am committed to doing everything in my power to ensure that it is not.”  In the end, only time will tell whether the FBI’s decision was just or unjust, but one thing is certain: this bizarre and outlandish story is sure to inspire a new generation of conspiracy theorists and political opportunists, and to remind us all that sometimes, the most effective way to take down one’s enemies is to simply make things up as one goes along.

Born in  Bloomsbury, London back in 1941, Charlie Watts joined The Rolling Stones in 1963 and became a fundamental part of their sound. He was a member of the group until he passed in 2021 at the age of 80. His drumming influenced countless musicians all over the world during the almost six decades he kept the Stones beat going. He was also known for being more quiet and reserved when compared to his bandmates, so he didn't talk to the press a lot like they did, for example. But he did revealed once who were two of his favorite drummers of all time and explained why. The 2 drummers that Charlie Watts said were some of his favorites In an interview with Jas Obrecht, for the Stones own magazine Inside the Voodoo Lounge, which was sold inside the venues and newstands during the Stones 1994 world tour, Watts listed two of his favorite drummers of all time. Davie Tough https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1g-cgIB6EMQ&pp=ygUTRGF2aWUgVG91Z2ggZHJ1bW1lcg%3D%3D "One of my favorite drummers is Dave Tough – nobody knows anything about him, really. He’s one of the Austin High School Gang, out of Chicago in the ’30s. Played with all the big bands, and he played with the famous first Herd, Woody Herman’s. He’s the drummer on 'Caldonia' and 'Northwest Passage' and all that. He’s a legend. Every band leader wanted him in the ’30s. Skinny guy," Charlie Watts said. It's no secret that Watts was a huge fan of big bands and Jazz, hearing a lot of music from the 40s, especially. Davie Tough was born in 1907 and was active as a drummer from 1925 until 1948 when he passed away too soon at the age of 41. During his career, he performed with many famous artists like Jack Gardner, Art Kassel, Sig Meyes, Benny Goodman and Red Nichols. He struggled with epilepsy throughout his life and he tragically passed away after falling down and hitting his head on the street in Newark, New Jersey. Big Sid Catlett https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAgfQOMdGfc&pp=ygUPQmlnIFNpZCBDYXRsZXR0 "And another guy I’d love to have seen play. This is drummers we’re talking about was Big Sid Catlett, who was around for the same era. They were the two drummers that were famous – Big Sid and Davie Tough. Davie Tough was a skinny white man, really skinny. (He) was a really loud player, apparently, from what I’ve gathered asking people like Mel Lewis about him." "And Big Sid was a huge black man, but very light. So they were totally contrary in their stature to the way they played, which is very strange. Ahmet Ertegun is the only one I actually asked a lot about this. Ahmet is very interesting, and his brother was," Charlie Watts said. Big Sid Catlett was three years younger than David Tough, he was born in 1910 and coincidentally, passed away also at the age of 41, just like Tough. He is recalled as one of the most versatile Jazz drummers of his era. His playing evolved with the music and he adopted as the new style of Jazz called bebop emerged. He played with many incredible musicians during his career. Some of them were Benny Carter, Don Redman, Fletcher Henderson and McKinney's Cotton Pickers. Big Sid passed away in 1951, a victim of a heart attack while visiting friends backstage at a Hot Lips Page benefit concert in Chicago.The post The 2 drummers that Charlie Watts said were some of his favorites appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.
