    some of my favourite pictures are of my and my daughters at that age. so much love, such purity. that pic hit me hard. 

    I think its going to hit us all hard. Hit me like a ton a bricks as a father of 2 to a girl and a boy.

    What courage for those girls to share so much. Clearly, even at a young age, they've got good heads on their shoulders. It's a comfort to hear that strength from his family, who we've all been thinking so much about.

    Peace and love to them, and all of you.

    ^^ Watching that vid, listening to the song after reading the letters from Chris's kids today is particularly poignant. Here's hoping they can get through this ok.

    these are beautiful.  are they the artist edition or is this what was sold at the show?  i went to the beacon show a few days prior and wasn't too impressed by the poster but bought it anyways.  glad i did at this point. 
    Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.

    Pearl Jam should lend their channel on Sirius to be the Chris Cornell channel for a month or two. Pearl Jam has nothing new, anyway.

    They kind of did that over Memorial Day weekend. I wouldn't mind another weekend or week of it.

    Been listening to this a lot lately, think this is what really kick started his solo acoustic tours. Great stuff.

    Yah it is.   I always thought it was amazing both as a performance and what it did.  I think it was done as a radio promo thing to help promote a new audioslave record, but he did an insanely memorizing performance.   It spreads like wildfire on the internet (ie people pirated the crap out of it) and creates this whole opportunity for him to tour around and do acoustic shows (Which I think was the best era of his solo touring days).    You never know what can happen, but amazing things came out that performance.

    Absolutely. A turning point.
