Chris Cornell Wrote Some Of The Best Driving Songs - Jalopnik

Chris Cornell’s passing was the first death of a musical artist to really bum me out. I probably listen to his songs on a daily basis, so the news hit me hard. Most of the time I rock out from behind the wheel because Chris made awesome tracks for putting the pedal down and going for a drive.

the iHeart App is great, had it on now while putting down a brew!

Also remembered I put together a home movie of TR Jnr about 7 or 8 years ago with Be Yourself as the sound track!

Sad, I believe he was @MN5 s favourite Bond and he said the best Bond of all time

Chris Cornell. Wow, that one really really struck close to the bone. Only Cobain comes close when it comes to a feeling of loss at the death of a musician. Absolutely gutted for his family.

@canefan Roger Moore was the James Bond I grew up watching in the 1980s so I was saddened to hear of his passing despite his age.

I read this on another forum.

@Bovidae What a total Boss

Greg Allman rip

Billboard Staff  /  May 27, 2017

Gregg Allman, Soulful Trailblazer of Southern Rock, Dies at 69

The legendary singer, songwriter, keyboardist and co-founder of The Allman Brothers Band endured heartbreaking tragedy and addiction during his life.

[Bovidae]

@jegga I was just reading about this myself. Not unexpected given his health issues. A very underrated musician.

I bet we'll be hearing a lot of "Jessica" in the coming days.

Yeah his 70s lifestyle would have taken its toll on him. Have you ever seen this film? He's in it and the soundtrack is pretty good.

Rush (1991 film) - Wikipedia

@jegga That movie has a great opening sequence.

[Bovidae]

@jegga Yes, but haven't seen Rush since the early 1990s. I probably should watch it again.

[jegga]

@Bovidae yeah might have to see if it's on Netflix, just realised it was about 20 years since I saw it. I remember Allman was pretty good playing the bad guy.

The next few minutes are really good too.

[jegga]

@Tim really well done , reminds me of that scene in Goodfellas that was done in one take too.
