[Stompypotato-durotan (Stompypotato)]

He died?

[Saángreal-moon-guard (Saángreal)]

Simple man

[Cairnage-greymane (Cairnage)]

Yeah. Stroke @ 83

[Wirt-stalagg]

Well, at least he kept his soul! No devil winning a battle against him.

[Stompypotato-durotan (Stompypotato)]

That is terrible. This year keeps getting worse.

[Tigerfist-borean-tundra]

Hell has broken in Georgia . Does that mean Charlie is playing his fiddle hard ?

[Udoeak-dathremar]

83 is pretty good innings. Still, RIP.

[Karat-anubarak (Karat)]

he was in a bind
'cause he was way behind

I think my favorite part about that song is it makes it sound like the Devil is some low level salesman.

Instead of the personification of sin that he’s usually depicted as he’s just some guy that’s constantly being yelled at by his boss because he’s not meeting his quota. He probably goes home and argues with his wife about missing his kids’ soccer game and being late for dinner.

[Waidmann-gilneas (Waidmann)]

In before some one gets it closed down .

to a class act

[Dograt-incendius]

I dunno who he is but RIP.

83 is a good age to go though, hopefully he lived a happy life.

[Thaeron-khadgar (Thaeron)]

@Karat-anubarak

. He probably goes home and argues with his wife about missing his kids’ soccer game and being late for dinner.

Then logs into WoW and plays alli random bgs, yells at everyone for being scrubs and making everyone’s life hell.

RIP Charlie D

Another legend is taken from us. I hope he lived a happy life, and that his family finds some peace during these trying times. RIP Charlie, you inspired more than you know.

"Long Haired Country Boy"

People say I’m no good, and crazy as a loon
‘Cause I get stoned in the mornin’, I get drunk in the afternoon
Kinda like my old blue tick hound, I like to lay around in the shade
And I ain’t got no money, but I damn sure got it made

‘Cause I ain’t askin’ nobody for nothin’
If I can’t get it on my own
If you don’t like the way I’m livin’
You just leave this long haired country boy alone

Preacher man talking on TV, puttin’ down the rock and roll
Wants me to send a donation, ‘cause he’s worried about my soul
He said, “Jesus walked on the water.”, and I know that it’s true
But sometimes I think that preacher man, would like to do a little walkin’ too

But I ain’t askin’ nobody for nothin’
If I can’t get it on my own
If you don’t like the way I’m livin’
You just leave this long haired country boy alone

A poor girl wants to marry, a rich girl wants to flirt
A rich man goes to college, a poor man goes to work
A drunkard wants another drink of wine, and a politician wants your vote
I don’t want much of nothing at all, but I will take another toke

‘Cause I ain’t asking nobody for nothin’
If I can’t get it on my own
If you don’t like the way I’m livin’
You just leave this long haired country boy alone

[Meriweather-thunderlord]

My absolute favorite is “Uneasy Rider.” It’s a storytelling little comedy song about the rural South and its internal conflicts during the 1960’s, and I love everything about it.

[Constânce-kirin-tor]

I love that song. R.I.P! You will be missed.
