RIP Chris Cornell

There aren't that many albums I almost always listen to straight through without skipping any songs. The first three Weezer albums fit in that category.

 

Pearl Jam is the fourth-best grunge band among the pioneers.

 

I was going to post this earlier, but I thought there would be frothing.

Much of 1990s music seemed like a gimmick.

 

Unlike, say, the dead nuts honesty in selling white Brits wailing on American black blues.

 

I don't recall saying that didn't suck.

 

If I'm remembering correctly, you were not tender.

 

Listened to Chris Cornell's performance on Artist Confidential on Sirius yesterday and it was both heartbreaking and enlightening. One part that stuck with me was when told the story of writing "Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart" and said it was about "the singer" finding someone he loved and suddenly realizing that he forgot how miserable life is and there's no reason to be depressed and suicidal. There was an odd sort of detachment about describing it being written by "the singer," not "me." Excellent song, BTW.

His performances of the songs "Fell on Black Days," "Nearly Forgot my Broken Heart," and "Like a Stone" were all top-notch. Those were the only three I heard on my drive, but I'm hoping to track down the whole show online.

 

And, just because I am now down the Chris Cornell acoustic rabbit hole:

 

What the Hell? Is this an insult?

 

I don't know but that it made you indignantly capitalize H made me laugh.

 

Is it not a proper noun / geographic location?
