Who cares bout this cac probably was for blue lives matter

How when alot of their recent music has been about police brutality and the corrupt system?

I put it off for a a couple days, but now going back and listening to LP. So hard. Not easy at all. Just heartbreaking.

Same thing with Cornell of course. I mean, we all know this, but we take these artists for granted. They're pouring their hearts out, and we just gloss over their pain. I used to be one of those 'no sympathy for suicides' folks, and maybe deep down I still am to a degree, but I can admit that I've been uneducated and wrong on the topic.

I still don't understand how someone can physically kill themselves, and maybe that's a good thing. I'll (hopefully) never know the struggle some of them go through, and with this continuously happening, I gotta thank God for that. But I can safely say that I've come to the realization that I was an idiot by calling them selfish and weak, as I've done plenty in the past. It's a stupid position to take, and pretty egotistical as well, to act like you know what the next person is going through, and dictating (after the fact, no less) how they should've reacted/dealt with their pain. There's a couple in this thread, and I shudder to think that that's how I was coming off at times.

Anyways, I wasn't the 'biggest' fan of LP, but their singles were MONSTERS, and I copped both 'Hybrid Theory' & 'Reanimation' back then. Still have them somewhere. It's hard when someone commits suicide, and you go back and get smacked in the face with all their pain again. Some ignore it, while some use it to empower themselves, and that's what makes it so hard when something like this happens. This tweet says it all:

Sorry, but leaving 6 kids with no father

plus he was rich, or at least plenty financially comfortable. this dude was a fakkit

there's people who live off 5 cents a day in a slum in india, and they aren't out here killing themselves. tell me how bad this dude's life could have possibly been and with 6 kids?

It’s more than solid. shyt is an absolute classic. As is Meteora. Both are monumental classic albums
