Chris Cornell - I Am The Highway Acoustic

Chris Cornell - live from The Bowery in NYC - a solo gig benefiting the victims of Hurricane Sandy. It was challenging to keep a steady hand while filming this from inside my jacket. As a guitar geek, I also focused in on the chords Chris was playing so I could learn the song - apologies to those who do not play guitar.
Rest In Peace, Chris. The John Lennon of our generation.

    man i really wish Chris Cornell was still here. Breaks my heart, I always used his music to pick me up and now it just fuels my personal despair. If you are battling depression, you are not alone.

    😳😳😳😳Jesus Christ what a talented talented man he was. My heart is still broken at his passing, but I’m really just being selfish. Wanting him around. To write the songs he did and to have created all that beautiful art he created, he suffered terribly. His misery was his muse I believe. And whether because of or in spite of his many black days, he created the most amazing and beautiful art that will literally last until the end of time. And I thank God for that. I wish you could’ve found another way Chris but at the end of the day it was your choice. Rest easy beautiful soul. May you finally have peace❤️🖤
