    Oh, shit. RIP.

    Surely a great talent to do it that long.

    1st thing that came to mind was Charlie's anti-groupie status. Just wasn't interested, very much a family guy (I guess). Juxtapose that vs Mick/Keith, who couldn't wait to find a new hole.

    Had to google him. Was more than likely going to make some despairing remarks but could never do so about a fellow drummer. I haven’t played in many years but shit never leaves me.

    it's amazing that there aren't more dead, with all the drugs and other shit they did back in the day.
    Growing up to these legends we want them to live forever, but I'm glad their Music will live on.


    RIP Charlie

    Too bad.. As long as it isn't Mick Jagger the Stones will tour on though.

    80 years old is pretty good for rock stars and drummers especially that burnt the candle at both ends for most of their lives.
