Audio Slavery

Apparently after years of resistance I have finally warmed up to the voice of Mr. Chris Cornell. I was never a Soundgarden guy back in the grunge days, mainly because the Indian guy scared me (Kim is a girl's name buddy) and this chick Michelle I fancied really, really, really thought Chris Cornell was hot and that annoyed me.

But living in the land of Alternative Music Radio I began liking this song and I kind of suspected it was Audioslave, but wasn't quite sure. And then I heard this other song and I liked that a lot and was kind of thinking it might be Audioslave again. Anyway, I scored the latest album off my music stealing cousin T-Bone and gave it a good listen tonight. Yeah. I like Audioslave. Pretty funny considering that I saw them live once and they were completely forgettable. But maybe a band like this needs time to gel and that is why this new jammy jam is kind of good.

Now he's no Dali Lama or nothing, but this song really struck a chord with me...

Someone finds salvation in everyone
And another only fame
Someone tries to hide himself
Down inside their selfish brain
Someone swears his true love
Untill the end of time
Another runs away
Separate or united?
Healthy or insane?

To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
