SATURDAY NIGHT BOB SEGER AND THE SILVER BULLET BAND, SOUNDGARDEN.

Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band with Still the Same. From the album Stranger in Town (1978).





A prime example of Heartland Rock.



So Chris Cornell (Soundgarden, Audioslave) killed himself. Pity. I wondered if I'd give a sympathetic nod with either Black Hole Sun or else Fell on Black Days, but the former is too commercial and the latter doesn't seem right given the circumstances. Besides, IIRC we've had both of them already here on Saturday Night Music. So it's gonna be Live to Rise. From the soundtrack of the 2012 movie The Avengers.





Together with his second wife Vicky Karayiannis, Cornell founded the Chris and Vicky Cornell Foundation, which reportedly helps poor, abused and neglected children. RIP Chris. And thanks for your music, one of those things which made the nineties bearable for me.


I notice we've had quite a few people from Venezuela checking in lately. Insofar as you don't belong to the Maduro crowd, I'm very sorry for your predicament. Hang on, don't give up!

Buenas noches.
