Ok, so I will be the first to admit I'm not too fond of Chris Cornell's newest solo album, "Scream". He got together with uber-producer Timbaland to work out a mostly poppy-danceable album that sounds as though it were pieced together with lost samples of old Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado songs.
That being said, Cornell brought tears to my eyes when I found out he collaborated with a fan on one of his tracks. Rory De La Rosa just lost his 6-year-old daughter, Ainslee, to cancer. If that wasn't heartbreaking enough, Rory was given the same diagnosis just a short time later. He wrote a poem and got in touch with Cornell, who put the poem to music and the result is beautiful. "I Promise It's Not Goodbye" is available for free download on Cornell's site but there is also a pay pal link to donate money going to Rory's hospital bills. This is when being famous really means something.
