RIP Chris Cornell

NY Times – Chris Cornell, the powerful, dynamic singer whose band Soundgarden was one of the architects of grunge music, has died at 52.

Mr. Cornell died Wednesday night in Detroit, said his representative, Brian Bumbery, in a statement that called the death “sudden and unexpected” and that said the singer’s family would be “working closely with the medical examiner to determine the cause.”

God damnit.   I don’t want to downplay other deaths but this death especially sucks.  Chris Cornell was an absolute legend.  One of the best, most unique voices in all of music.  Insanely talented.   Yeah I publicize #BlogMusic and #DartySZN for people to party to but you can catch me on your Spotify Friend Activity Feed listening to the Audioslave self titled album at least once a week.   Staple of my high school years.

RIP in peace.

My favorites in no particular order –

PS,

Shadow On The Sun in Collateral one of the best uses of a song in a movie ever.
