I will also put this on the Porch but I maybe thought some here would like to know about this (whether one likes Cornell or not)..

http://chriscornell.com/news/detail/san ... t_goodbye/

"A few years ago, Texan fan Rory de la Rosa lost his six-year-old daughter Ainslee to cancer. Shortly afterwards, he himself was diagnosed with the same illness. But Rory didn’t fall into despair. He wanted “to tell Chris Cornell how much his music impacted his life and of the bond it helped create for him and his daughter," says Karen, a carer at Rory’s hospice. Chris was touched by the story and wrote back - eventually resulting in a unique creative collaboration. Rory had written a poem about his daughter. Moved by the words, Chris suggested they turn the poem into a song. “It was a pleasure to put it to music and an honor,” he says. Sadly, Rory passed away shortly afterwards, but the proceeds from downloads of the song he wrote with Chris were able to help his family through a terrible time.

Since the recent tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School, people have been asking to hear the song again. In response, we have made the song available on chriscornell.com. In return, Chris hopes you will make a donation in memory of the children who lost their lives and do something to help those bereaved by this terrible tragedy.

    • Firearms—Acquired Bushmaster Firearms International, from Windham, Maine native Dick Dyke for an undisclosed sum in April 2006, and purchased Remington Arms in April 2007. Under Cerberus direction, Bushmaster Firearms acquired Cobb Manufacturing, a manufacturer of large-caliber tactical rifles in August 2007. Cerberus also acquired DPMS Panther Arms December 14, 2007.[71][72] Remington Arms acquired Marlin Firearms in January 2008.[73][74] In October 2009, Remington Military products acquired silencer manufacturer Advanced Armament Corporation.[75] These companies were combined into the Freedom Group. Cerberus made plans to sell its share in the Freedom Group on December 18, 2012, after the Bushmaster AR-15 was used in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.[21] This decision was made due to a threat by the board of the California state teachers' pension plan, which owns a stake in the company, to dispose of stakes it holds in any firearms manufacturer that makes weapons banned by California state law. In March 2014, Cerberus rejected a $1 billion buyout offer for Freedom Group.[76] As of April 2015, Cerberus continued to have ownership in Freedom Group, but CalSTRS announced its divestment from Cerberus' gun holdings in June 2015.[77]

    That's what I thought.

    I guess after the PizzaGate debacle you don't want to paint yourself into a corner by making statements that can be used against you?

    Is JC still hurt about the Democrats favoring the Democratic candidate over the non-Democratic candidate except when he wants party money? 

    Is that still a thing?

    Butt hurt Bernie bro not understanding the rough and tumble of internal party politics and confusing it with violation of law and then when it really happens, goes silent and runs deep, all the way to Comet Pizza and Julien Asstrange. It's entertaining but I think 3D won.
