I wrote this Facebook post after learning of Chris Cornell’s untimely passing this week. It received a lot of feedback and comments so I thought I should share it here as well. Read it. Do it. Reflect. Respect.
“Do I miss LA and working in the music business? I am asked this ALL the time. That city and the business has taken so much from me and so many I have known and loved along the way. In just the past few years, Glenn Frey, Scott Weiland and now Chris Cornell have all passed and I am proud to say that I had the honor of working for all 3 of these amazing talents and meeting each of them in person as well as seeing them all share their music MANY times. I am a fan. I bleed rock and roll. It is my life and I love and hate so much about it. I listened to an interview this AM and the jocks were right on – please don’t talk about the way Chris Cornell passed. Be human. Grab a Temple of the Dog, Soundgarden, Audioslave or solo record and remember the talent he shared with us through his lyrics and powerful voice. Do that. Respect his friends and family. #ripchriscornell”
Reflect, Respect And #RIPChrisCornell #SayHelloToHeaven
**Stay snarky my friends!**
Thank you for writing this. Your time in the music business must have been both interesting and chaotic. It sounds as though you left at the right time
Thank you for the comment! Yes, it sure was.
