I’m incredibly saddened by the death of Chris Cornell, singer for Audioslave, Soundgarden and Temple of the Dog. Maybe that sounds strange, I didn’t know the man other than through his music. But his music meant a lot to me. It got me through some really difficult times. Thinking back, for one entire year I listened to nothing but Audioslave when I was in my car–the music soothed and inspired me. I could always count on it to take me out of my own head when I got too immersed in fictional worlds as well as real life problems.
