Today, we paid tribute to a true iconic rock voice, Chris Cornell. After learning of his passing after his show in Detroit on May 17, our entire staff was heartbroken. The office had an eerie quiet around it. Our staff feeling sullen over his passing and it was evident.
So, we paid our respects the best way we knew how: with music.
