Back to California

has anyone other than me ever noticed that there are tons of songs about California? about the beach, the weather, the girls... as far as i can tell, everything in California is better than anywhere else. i mean when have you heard a song about Utah, Idaho, or Montana? everything about Vegas is about leaving it... but everyone loves California.

there was a time (about 6 months ago) that i hated that everyone loves that place. i kept thinking that the traffic sucks and the smog in LA is horrible. the people are all money grubbers and self centered, etc. however, i have been going down there far more often now that i am married. now i know what they are talking about. of course i want to live there. i mean it is almost April and we had a snowstorm. it was 77 degrees in Southern California while i was wiping snow from my windshield. that alone is worth the more expensive cost of living.

i can't wait to move down there.

i declare it to be so!

Soundgarden, Audioslave, Temple of the Dog, and a few solo albums. all the accomplishments of Chris Cornell.

I feel that he is now going to enter the annals of my history as a complete musical genius. he is now joining the ranks of the greats. in my minds eye, Zakk Wylde, in all his maned glory, is clapping Chris on the back. Dimebag Darrell is making a few choice comments. Randy is saluting him with a face melting riff! oh! the joy!

there is something about Mr. Cornell's voice and guitar that calms my very soul. that is all there is to say about it. the music that he has produced is Amazing! words fail me as i attempt to describe these things. he is one of the greats! i declare it to be so!

and the best part is, that anyone that has heard "black hole sun" can't argue against this.

Rock on Chris, rock on! The Metal Lives on.
