This past weekend I was out with some friends at a house party and we were rocking away on Rock Band 2, which by the way is amazing. As we were going through the songs I saw Spoonman by Soundgarden. I was all over that, but two of the guys were like WTF is Spoonman. One of them is even a big rock fan who listens to the likes of Tool.
Once I picked my jaw off the ground I convinced them to give it a try. I could not believe they had not ever heard the song. Am I really that old? LOL. Anyway we rocked it out. It was amazing.
So for all of you who have never enjoyed the greatness that is Spoonman, enjoy. Also check out some of the other great Soundgarden tunes.

If you’ve been living under a rock or you just want to check out some of your old faves, here are my picks:

She died of cancer after refusing medical attention, solely relying on her belief in God to heal her. Hetfield felt that, had she not followed her Christian Science beliefs she could have survived.
