Yes, this is about writing. I’ve been on a Chris Cornell kick for some reason the past couple of weeks, probably because I’ve discovered youtube as a great way to find bootlegs and recordings of shows in places like Toronto. I’ve also stumbled across an interesting interview during which Cornell explains how he has taken to writing (see?) song lyrics on a blackberry.

There’s a nice few seconds near the end of this video for old school Soundgarden fans, as Cornell explains how and when he wrote the song and lyrics for “Black Hole Sun.” I won’t spoil it here. Follow the link. Suffice to say it reminded me of how Marquez got the idea for A Hundred Years of Solitude.
