a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

Terrible news. I liked Charlie. The motor of the Stones. May he rest in peace.

Dreadful news - had the pleasure of seeing Charlie and the Stones (with Mick Taylor, too) live in 2014. Was one hell of a concert.

Keith Richards once said that if anything happened to Charlie, the Stones are finished.... it'd certainly be hard to imagine the Stones without Charlie, that's for sure. Especially given that he never once missed a gig throughout his 58-year tenure in the band. R.I.P.
