This breaks my heart. I've been listening to his music all day.

    OK I don't get it. This Chris Cornell guy. Based on the flood of posts on here, on social media, on late night TV, if everyone who claims to have loved his music actually bought his music and went to his concerts maybe he wouldn't be playing venues in Podunk Michigan. Instead he would be filling out arenas in major cities and he would actually get radio play.

    I'm not discounting his music or what he brought to the industry or the fact that he probably has a cult following but I think people are just jumping on his bandwagon because it's a cool thing to do right now.

    Like stonewashed jeans in the 80s.

    Performers get excessive news coverage when they die. I never heard of this guy.

    I hadn't either before this. Again, not discounting what he brought to the industry but he wasn't a household name. Not like the media is making him out to be.

    It's like the guy who died last year who wrote "hallelujah"

    In the grunge scene, he was just as well known as Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and Alice in Chains. Just because you weren't into that scene doesn't mean a whole generation of people weren't.
