That same friend saw him this past Sunday, in concert, in Kansas City. I found out about the concert too late to attend and missed it. I feel like I might regret that for some time. My devotion to music as a medium has wavered, in the last few years. It has become more and more difficult for me to listen, simply due to work and having a shitty car with a shitty stereo (podcasts played off my phone sound great, but music doesn&#8217;t have the impact it should). As a result, I missed a lot of great music in the last 5 years or so.<\/p>\n<p>Today, I pulled out my headphones, plugged them in, and let the music flow. I discovered entire albums I&#8217;d never heard and enjoyed lyrics from one of the great poets of our time, stretched across that unique vocal range Cornell had. It was wonderful. I listened to old favorites and fantastic covers and new works that proved that neither age, depression, nor drugs had dulled the mind of one of the greatest of\u00c2\u00a0greats of my childhood.<\/p>\n<p>Cobain. Staley. Weiland. And now, Cornell.<\/p>\n<p>Stay strong, Eddie. We need you now, more than ever. Someone needs\u00c2\u00a0to pass the torch to the next generation, before it&#8217;s dropped and lost forever.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"676\" height=\"381\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nOmO6l9_rss?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was my junior\u00c2\u00a0year of high school.
