STR8 Boys Need Love Too - Chris Cornell

chris cornell chris cornell

I have already mentioned my love of Chris Cornell - the voice that makes me listen with amazement. He sings with passion, such depth, such raw grit. Starting with his work with Soundgarden, then to Audioslave, and then solo work, I have listened with deep appreciation and respect. And he is really hot! His wife, also a stunningly beautiful woman, is damn lucky, and he makes being a daddy really sexy.

Cornell recently released Scream, a new CD I really enjoy. It has a more pop, accessible feel to it, but he still rocks on it. This week Cornell released a new video, for the song Long Gone.



Previously, he released Scream, the lead song on the CD. I think Long Gone is a much better song. Earlier, he release You Know My Name from Carry On. This is a video of the song performed live on MSNBC. Good Lord, how sexy. I mean, talk about a growl.



You can find out more about Cornell at his website.

A King Remembered - Michael Jackson (1958-2009)

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson was an incredible talent, and his talent as a singer, dancer and writer will live on for generations. While he is the antithesis of what I am covering here, the King of Pop versus the indie folk/pop/rock singers. But I have heard many of them covering his music live, and can hear their respect for his gift.

One of my favorite covers has been Chris Cornell's version of Billie Jean. It is the performances of Jackson's music by others that will prove to be his true legacy, the celebration of his talent by others.

Jay Brannan put out a tribute via his YouTube channel just now. It is wonderful.
