[Engineer]

Just woke up to have a couple texts on my phone about Chris Cornell passing. Another of the grunge era is gone

Ugh. Way too young. This makes my heart hurt. Loved his singing especially in Temple of the Dog.

 

[Micklebot]

Damn. RIP

Used to blare Rusty cage and Jesus Christ pose when I was in HS.

 

[Back in Black]

That was shocker. Suicide sucks!

RIP Chris

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

That was shocker. Suicide sucks!

RIP Chris

It's being investigated as a possible suicide, but way too soon to definitely say that was the cause. Let's hold off on treating speculation as confirmed facts for now... especially with such a sensitive topic.

 

[Smash88]

Man, that really sucks.

Always liked basically anything Chris Cornell put out, one of the great rock voices.

Could never stand his voice or anything he made but that's still too young to go, too bad

 

[Caeldan]

Saw Audioslave play in London many years back with Seether.

Was hoping to get to another Cornell show in the next year or two

 

[tony d]

He was an amazing musician, tragic news. RIP.

Not necessarily a popular opinion:

I was never a huge Soundgarden fan, but like every other 20 year old in 1994 I bought Superunknown on the strength of Black Hole Sun and Spoonman. I don't think I gave that album many spins, tbh.

Burden In My Hand is peak Soundgarden, as far as singles.

Come at me, bro.

 

[maclean]

on the strength of Black Hole Sun and Spoonman

I would literally turn off the radio when either of those songs came on

Me too Not my bag whatsoever.

Sad times though.

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

Damn. Confirmed suicide now. Not that we needed it, but just more proof that everyone's fighting their own battle and it isn't readily obvious.

 

[DrEasy]

There's been far too many artist deaths lately. I even found out about of couple of them only recently, a few months after they happened: Pete Burns, the singer from Dead or Alive, and Carolyn Crawley, the singer from fairly obscure 80's band Shelleyan Orphan, but who had a great couple of songs with This Mortal Coil. I'm definitely a child of the 80's...

 

[SensHulk]

very sad to hear. gonna be listening to audioslave all day now

That feeling when you are sitting waiting for an appointment, just looking at the clock and realizing you have a second appointment directly after that you might miss if the wait TAKES FOREVER.

I can relate. I absolutely loathe​ running late.

 

[PatrickEaves]

The gallon is the worst.

Not only is it not metric, there are two different gallons that aren't even the same measurement.

 

[saskriders]

My mother is into all this pseudoscience nonsense, and I have no idea how to convince her it is garbage.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Looks like I might have bought my first car.

2010 Mazda 6 GS with a V6 @ 99k km for 7500. Pretty happy!

 

[saskriders]

Congrats.

My mother is into all this pseudoscience nonsense, and I have no idea how to convince her it is garbage.

Ask her to explain it to you and just ask questions. Get her to really think out her reasoning behind the stuff she buys into. Don't be pushy and don't say shes wrong for the obvious reasons. Just neutral questions.

what kind of stuff?

 

[saskriders]

what kind of stuff?

Well when I got in today she was listening​ to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregg_Braden

In the past he has said:

"Cancer can only manifest if we forget the true nature of who we really are. That is if we don’t live our lives the way that is best for us, that is true to us and if we keep doing that for too long. It’s not our fault it’s come to this. We have been deceived and deluded from the truth about who we really are. We just have to remember! We are doing that right now all over the planet."

I have tried to get her to question it, but any skepticism towards the garbage just seems to make her double down on it. She almost always listens with headphones now. I think it is because she didn't want to hear my sister and I critisizing it.
