    It's odd riding the train to work. I can hear muffled voices blaring from a few sets of headphones around me. All distinctively Chris Cornell... Soundgarden to my left, Audioslave behind me. Pointed to my ear and nodded to them, heads shaking in disbelief. Truly a sad day, maybe even bigger than I thought the reaction would be.

    I'm at my fucking desk at work and I can't stop crying. I had no idea until a coworker told me when I walked in. I will always remember this:
    he was playing a solo show in Winnipeg. I had row 2 on the floor. I was finishing my beer in the lobby as he went on stage (this venue allows no alcohol in the theatre). I was briskly walking to my seat, and he was on stage right in front of the aisle way. He looked in my direction.....I waved....he smiled and waved back. I will never forget that. it's those little connections that mean so much. 
    Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall

    RIP. There are no words. His voice inevitably led me to PJ many years ago. I was sitting at my desk yesterday, listening to Searching With My Good Eye Closed, marveling at his voice and talent. Can not express how truly devastated . . .

    LEGEND!
    No one compares!

    Fortunate enough to have shared the same room with on a number of occasions, the world hurts today.

    There must be something else
    There must be something good
    Far away, far away, far away from here.

    Terrible news.

    Hoping the elements surrounding this are just sick hearsay.  Illness, death and loss are never easy to deal with, we've been sitting in PICU with my 13 year old son since he suffered a seizure and cardiac arrest on April 5th.  Never want to see anyone leave, but I hope and pray this was natural causes, it would be so much easier on his friends and loved ones.  Peace to a gentle soul regardless.  Love you Chris, wish we would have had you longer. 
    His eminence has yet to show.

    Just awful. So sad. Brings up memories of lost family members. We'll always have that beautiful voice.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    I never really connected to Chris' music, but I knew what I was hearing came from a very talented person. It was always obvious to me that he was a good person. Then when I saw PJ20 (the film), you could really see the heart that beat in him. 
    Thought to his family. Blood and extended.

    Horrible news to wake up to :(

    Next to PJ he's probably the artist I've gone out to see live the most.  Soundgarden, Solo, Acoustic Solo, Audioslave, and even ToTD :(   This came as a total shock and gut punch.  :(

    So terrible. He was in peak form when I saw him with Temple in San Fran. Lost way to soon. Lots of love to his family immediate and extended.
