Just little thoughts and shmeels; a Random Book filled with likely to be crazy things that you don't even know if they'd make sense or not...I mean, I know they don't, so-
PROCEED WITH CAUTION!
(Yep, that was a forced callback to the title- YEE HAW)...
My idol, my favorite singer- from my all-time favorite band, died today (July 20, 2017).
Chester Bennington of Linkin Park committed suicide by hanging himself.
The cause is rumored to be due to the child abuse he was victimized of by an older male. What is confirmed though, was that drugs were involve.
Chester has had a history of drug problems, but has been clean for a long time....I guess up until recent.
Jeez man, this guy, and the band is my idol! His words are inspirational, powerful, and....just...
I grew up on Linkin Park...
I remember when my dad (actually step-dad, but I consider him my real one) first moved in, we went for a car ride this one night around the block. He had to get something, but I guess as a form of bonding, he decided to take a few loops around the neighborhood. He stopped at Stop Sign and pulled out two discs, and asked me, "Which color you want?"
I saw a red and black disc: the first two albums Linkin Park made, Hybrid Theory and Meteora, respectively.
And it's a shame, because it was just three months ago their latest album came out, One More Light... Interesting title now that I think of it...
It wasn't received so well by critics, but it somehow topped two Rock-genre charts (but for the first time, it didn't make the "Hard Rock" category for the album's heavy influence of Pop and EDM).
This is horrible everyone. This band was (IS) my inspiration! Their lyrical style, twists on musical originality, is everything I try to accomplish when I write my own music...
Even though I'm really going to miss Chester's voice at the helm of this band, I hope they don't split...I really hope not.
