I usually don't post these types of threads, but damn.

Chris Cornell, the powerful, dynamic singer whose band Soundgarden was one of the architects of grunge music, has died at 52.

Mr. Cornell died Wednesday night in Detroit, said his representative, Brian Bumbery, in a statement that called the death “sudden and unexpected” and that said the singer’s family would be “working closely with the medical examiner to determine the cause.”

Chris Cornell was a great singer and songwriter, he made Soundgarden whole. The video for "Black Hole Sun" was a little creepy, but that nonsense song was a big hit. His solo work was very good as well... Too soon for his talent to go to rock 'n roll heaven, but they have a hell of a band up there.

Soundgarden was a big part of my high school soundtrack, along with Alice In Chains, Nirvana, and others. 

The Seattle Sound was the last great musical movement before the internet and the iPod changed music forever.

RIP Sir

"Black Hole Sun" is one of my all time favorites. Loved his work with Audioslave, too.

Put Soundgarden on Pandora for a while at work and didn't have to thumbs down a single track. I'm still an angsty grunge teen at heart I guess.

Great voice and a very sad ending indeed.  I liked Audioslave quite a bit, but that is mostly because I am a huge fan of Tom Morello.

Saw them play at Lollapalooza in early 90s along with Pearl Jam and they played as Temple of the Dog too. This was a total shocker to hear driving in to work this morning. Temple Of The Dog was like the third song that played in my 1200 song playlist today. RIP Chris.

That's a big loss, Chris was an incredible musician with a great voice. I've listened a lot to his music.

      I added to total today by hopping it in on the first hole for an eagle. A short par 4, I hit 4 wood to 110. With a little breeze in my face I hit a 50 degree gap wedge to 2 feet and watched it hop into the hole for an eagle 2!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 14 (September 18).  Morning practice, despite questionable weather (it's raining).   Worked on chipping at first, including run-ups with UW and PW;  I've noticed lately some of my near-GIRs are missing forward, with nothing but grass ahead of me, but 20-30 yards to the pin.  After a few misadventures putting those lately, I wanted to at least get a feeling for what a 30-yard chip shot that doesn't have the variance of my quarter lob wedge would feel like.  I still think "putt when you can putt" is right, but... I am less sure I have a 30 yard putt in me.  Range time also, of course, same routine as the past week or so (drill, 3-4 slow shots, etc).   Did not get to the putting green as it was starting to come down a bit more. Darn, it really is raining.  And I thought today would be a perfect day to play, seeing as how it's 9-18 and all.
