I knew there was a reason I chose not to live in Poland. Chris Cornell, having toured extensively since spring with the best voice performances I have heard from him in twelve years, has strained his vocal chords and is on doc-ordered medical leave for ten days. Accordingly, dates in Poland, Hungary and Austria have been cancelled. Now what the hell am I going to do with this ticket to Prague?

There is, however, a rumor of a concert date at the Paramount in Seattle October 3. Someone take away my credit card, NOW.
