Yes, just listening to “Black Hole Sun” (I think that’s the title) just makes me sad. It’s like listening to Nirvana or Pearl Jam. Want to get depressed? Listen to grunge rock...
(Unfortunately, I do, quite often)
He didn’t leave a note, but “I am the Highway” is probably as good a suicide note as anyone could ever write:

I quickly realized the downer effect of grunge when it hit and stopped listening to it.
As ever, the Good Book warns and gives instruction to live by:
“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he...” —Proverbs 23:7a
“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” —Phil 4:8
I know little about Chris, but I would suspect he was much like so many other successful people. He had a taste of all the world offers and found it lacking. Like all sons of Adam, he needed Christ Jesus. Man’s problem isn’t crime or liberalism or race or poverty or commies or Muslims or climate change or feminism or any other problem or ism one can name. Man’s problem is himself. Man’s problem is that we are all born in sin and only a miracle from the Lord above can solve that problem. He must give a man a new heart. When He does that the man will still have problems in this world, but his soul will finally find peace and rest.
“And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” —Phil 4:7
“A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.” —Ezekiel 36:26
The proof is in the pudding...Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley, Scott Weiland and now Chris Cornell.
If you live here in the rainy northwest, it’s actually kind of uplifting .
