Just Learned of His Passing (Chester Bennington)
8 years ago
Damn...
I did not expect to feel this strongly about him dying like that...or dying at all. But here I am, fighting back from crying for a dude I never met and barely looked up to save for when I was in high school.
And I guess that is what is really pushing and pulling me in all kinds of emotional directions. Him representing an era of my life where I was all about the Linkin Park and the Gundam and the Dragon Ball Z and all AMVs I could find before Youtube existed! A much much easier time...
*sigh* I won't get into the circumstances of his demise suffice to say it is a tragic end to a life torn between the classic celebrity trope of who they are and who they project.
Instead, lets focus on the music itself! Let me know what your favorite songs of Linkin Park happens to be! Let us know about your first experiences hearing their music! 8D Was it in a Music Video? And AMV? Live? Which ones made you feel pumped as ALL HELL and then would make you think about life in general?
I look forward to this discussion of celebrating good memories of a man now gone.
