R.I.P. Chris Cornell
The Grunge Match is suspended indefinitely.
I don't know when it will resume. This hits way too close to home for way too many reasons.
As far as writing goes, I just did Match 112 Tuesday night. I have no interest in going back through and making this a love letter to the departed, nor bashing him for tearing our hearts out. I have no idea when I'll be able to even listen to Soundgarden again, and when I do, it won't be the fucking same so there's no way I can give any kind of objective rating. Chris Cornell was the soul of that band, the thing that took sludge with a few acrobatic musical flourishes and made it into the hellfire slinging, metal rending monster that it needed to be.
So yeah. This one hurts. The man is dead. The music remains, but is changed forever. His friends, family and fans are suffering incalculable grief. There's not much more to say, so silence seems like the best option.
