I always thought cool, calm, square, Charlie would be the last to go. Should have known though, Death is afraid of Keith. Glad I got to see the Stones at least once. Charlie was the calmest thing in a crowd of 60,000.
There's a great story of how Charlie did his usual thing of avoiding the party life and getting to bed at a reasonable hour. One night the phone rang and it's Mick at a party in his suite, quite drunk, and yelling Where's my fucking drummer? Charlie got up, put on a suit and tie as he often did, and went downstairs to Mick's suite. He got through the crowd to find Mick and punched him across the room - I'm not your fucking drummer! You're my fucking singer! Mick never woke him again.
Very cool guy and one of the rocks of Rock and Roll.

Those shoes won't be filled. Replaced yes, but filled no.
