I believe Kevin played \"Say Hello 2 Heaven,\" and the community tears flowed.\n\nI'd love to hear that song this morning if possible. Thanks!\n\nDOUG in Wallingford\n\n--\nChris Cornell wrote \"Say Hello 2 Heaven\" as a tribute to his roommate and friend, Mother Love Bone vocalist, Andrew Wood.\n\nTemple of the Dog formed in 1990 in Seattle, conceived by Chris Cornell of Soundgarden as a tribute to his late friend, Andrew Wood. The lineup featured members from both Mother Love Bone and Soundgarden, including Stone Gossard, Jeff Ament, Mike McCready, and Matt Cameron. Eddie Vedder, later the lead vocalist of Pearl Jam, also contributed vocals as a guest. \nhttp://www.templeofthedog.com/","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"}
