    I still can't help but cry every few times I listen to his beautiful voice. The song When I'm Down will always give me goosebumps. I really miss the guy, in spite of obviously never knowing him more than superficially.

    I've just booked my c.c. autograph tattoo.
    I met him at Brixton academy. He signed my ticket. So I'm having that.

    I was backstage at an SG show in 96. I SO regret not going up to Chris when i saw him. He just looked so not in the mood for fan interaction. I was too intimidated at 22 to go up to a "rock god" and try to say something non-douchie. 

    Fuck, I'm 44 and just met Hugh Dillon and I could barely muster two words to him.

    I've found I can't stop myself. With Jeff I met him at the airport and I lost myself talking to him like I knew him. Strange afterwards. At the time it was calm . After i was a mess

    Get it. I had a chance to talk to cc in 2011 and did. Was cool we talked about the first  time I saw SG and how cool it was that he climbed on the ceiling and kicked it in. While I was walking away to give him his space he reached out his hand to shake mine. Very kind gesture and soul-That never goes away.
    I thought that was very nice of him to talk to me. 

    Crank his music...

    thats what I think he wants.

    not having ever met him, but coming very close twice, he seemed (at least in his later years) that he genuinely liked to connect with people on a personal level and let them know how much he appreciated their connection to his music.

    Dammit. Just... dammit. This song, more than any other, makes me miss him something fierce. But I am so grateful for all the music he left behind. This performance... even though the Audioslave era was so hard on his voice, and even though he looks incredibly tired at times in this to me... he gave everything to the performance. And the look he gives Timmy at about 3:52... pure joy.
