The Music Community suffered a great loss but what a Legacy he left. I've been seeing his daughter on RFDTV a lot recently so his Family will keep the Memory alive I'm sure. :salut:

It's a shame. Especially the ones that felt thier lives were in such chaos, or darkness that they took thier own life.
I'm guessing ur not too familiar with Chris Cornell or Chester Bennington because of the generational gap and the music genre.?
Those two HAD the world in thier hands, ESPECIALLY Chris !

Do urself a favor and just browse YouTube for a bit and watch/listen to him . He screamed talent, his voice was second to none. His delivery was uncommon.

I still can't believe those two are gone.
They were actually great friends, and the circumstances regarding the deaths are very unsettling...

Emm, he covered Michael Jacksons ( Billie Jean ).
It's amazing that a song as famous as this from a huge star as MJ was can be sung in this way !
FINALLY, after all of these years, I now understand that song...

U have to hear this.

When I saw the news, I figured there would be a thread here. :(

My favorites on many levels include Wichita Lineman and Galveston. What a talent. RIP, Glen.
Moink!
