Challenge
We lost a lot with the passing of Chris Cornell. To many, he was a mentor, a brilliant writer; an inimitable voice. Until June 30th, this challenge is for the friends and fans to write their stories, poems, tributes: anything about him. We will be putting together a book for the Cornell family, of the posts entered, as well as making copies available for purchase, donating all proceeds to suicide prevention. In partnership with Seattle Refined, the most shared post will be read on air, and posted on seattlerefined.com.

You don’t know me

You don't know me, but I watched you grow.

You don't know me, but wherever you went I would go.

You don't know me, but I admire your work.

I admired your 'not a rockstar' mentality and appreciated you not being a jerk.

You don't know me, but I always wished you well.

Hoping your days would get better if Kurt Loder said it was hell.

You don't know me,but I cried when you did.

In your saddest lyrics I always hid.

You don't know me, but you said everything I would feel.

You described things I would imagine and made them seem real.

You don't know me, but I grew up with a strong Chicano background.

So I'd secretly sneek away to the Garden of Sound.

You don't know me,but I respected you as a whole.

Your thought provoking words helped me grow. 

You don't know me,but I believe in fate.

The hunger for more struck when I was eight.

You don't know me, but I also don't mind stealing bread.

It was lyrics like that,that kept my mind fed.

You don't know me but Superunknown sends me to a place of rest.

Let's get cheesy for a sec,seriously, your voice is the best!

You don't know me, and that's ok.

Angels go to Heaven so I'll see you someday.

I'll wait around,like a stone, but your music never dies.

And when I need inspiration I'll throw on my headphones and look to the skies.

You don't know me, but I grew up with your music and am no longer a kid.

You don't know me, but I just realized thru it all, you were the only one who really did.
