    It truly is hard to believe. Absolutely unreal. Just doesn't make any sense. Sucks.

    Still struggling with this. Thank-you all for writing out your words. It's helping to get glimpses of how others are processing it. There's a tribute night at a bar in town here tonight which I'll be heading to later although I really don't know I can handle it yet. Oh God, I know there's no point in 'wishing' but I just wish, something, anything, he'd called someone, someone had knocked on that door a little earlier......

    Was listening to songbook yesterday morning after work, I l cried and then smiled and cried and smiled. He was the best at what he did. No one can even come close to his solo concerts. When you hear and see his entire catalog at it's most rawness, it's amazing. I remember the last time I saw him solo. I was going holy shit this is fucking amazing during every fucking. Cornell literally had me with every fucking song and every fucking story he told. The one that sticks out to me from the last time I saw him solo is the duet him and his daughter did. It was such a fucking cool moment.

    I was awaken by the bad news of one of my favorite singers, lyricist, artist, and one I always thought was handsome, had passed away. I just couldn't believe it until I went to IG and my feed was all about the bad news and of course the sad reality set in. 

    My deepest condolences goes to the Cornell family, Kim, Ben, Matt of SG and all those who have worked with or cross paths and shared some kind of experience with Chris Cornell.

    I'm still in disbelief. My condolences to all sg and pj family and fans. I'm grateful for all the times I got to see Chris, including the entire west coast TOTD tour. All I can do is listen to the music. Spinning Higher Truth on vinyl now. :bawling: I had to take TOTD off the turn table....it's too eerie for me to deal with...heartwrenching :bawling:

    Two days later, it still feels like it cannot be true. Thank you for the music, Chris! Rest in peace.

    Thanks for sharing this. Chris talking about Kurt nearly gutted me. "No one sings like you anymore." Yep. Fuck.

    No problems. It's a tv-series Swedish television did called "the history of the hit song" and has a bunch of good episodes. As is proven by this one. Which they re-uploaded.

    Took me a few days to finally read this, but I agree. This was a really helpful read and I suggest others read it too. It helped me understand a lot more about the illness.

    Heard War Pigs in the car last night and it brought me back to TOTD Philly show. Got home and played the Singles soundtrack for my niece. Got to Birth Ritual and she says that's Chris Cornell, right? :heart:

    I'm through with screaming
