Put on some Audioslave, Temple of the Dog and Soundgarden today and just miss this mans art and what the bands did. Pure enjoyment all around, heart and mind.

Think they got the lyrics wrong on Genius, i think its "and they are farming babies while the slaves are all working". Kinda makes you believe the conspiracy theories.

Chris' lyrics are imo solid/qualitative, reflect his humanity and his passion, talk about social issues without being cringe/cliché in any way and still one of the best voices in rock.

Guess this is an appreciation post or a "there is no music like this out there anymore". P. McCartney may agree, some of you wont. It is what it is.
