Did you know The Rolling Stones' famous tongue logo is inspired by Indian goddess Kali?

The Rolling Stones recently paid tribute to late drummer <a href="http://13.235.153.162/entertainment/rolling-stones-drummer-charlie-watts-dies-aged-80-408164">Charlie Watts</a> with a sweet tribute video declaring that his drum set has closed for business. 
 
According to People magazine, the video, shared on the band`s social media accounts on Friday, was a two-minute clip set to the 1974 track `If You Can`t Rock Me`, and featured various photos and videos of Watts over the years. Many of the snaps of Watts, who died on Tuesday at age 80, showed off his dapper sense of style and skills behind the drums and ranged in age from him as a child to some of the more recent Stones shows.
