Travis Scott's parents kicked him out and cut him off when he dropped out of college to pursue music, but now that he's got some #1 albums and dozens of hit tracks, it seems like he made the right choice! These are Travis's best songs, music from his peers and influences, and his many, many collaborations, both vocally and as a producer.

Yes OSU's marching band nailed a Queen-themed halftime show but they deserve your respect for an entirely different reason.
These are a few reasonable questions that may cross your mind while watching Ohio State's Sept. 1st, Queen-themed halftime show against Oregon State.
Watch as they seamlessly go from "We Will Rock You" to "Fat Bottomed Girls" to "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" to "Bicycle Race" and cap it off with "Bohemian Rhapsody", all while forming the shape of Freddie Mercury...MY GOD THEY EVEN PERFECT THE QUEEN FONT.
*but have you considered the fact that polyester band uniforms are never comfortable, instruments are cumbersome...and chaffing is real??*
Wow OSU. Well done. Go grab some Gold Bond and celebrate yourselves. We can't wait to see what's next.
Brain May thought it was pretty sweet too.
So Soundgarden fans, about this Chris Cornell statue...How does it make you feel?
You may know Vicky chose artist, Nick Marra, for the job after seeing the sculpture Nick did for Anton Yelchin's gravesite at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
And you also may know that the unveiling of the statue was pushed back to October 7th, in response to pleas from fans that they too could be present for the ceremony to honor Cornell. Here's the thing, I have yet to seen any articles focusing on how fans feel about the statue? Sure we could sift thru Facebook comments but it seems odd there haven't been any proper articles on fan reaction. Positive or negative. Has the media mysteriously omitted fan feels? Or is my overactive imagination in high gear again? Either way, I wanted to find out how living, breathing Soundgarden fans feel...so I asked 4 legit fans who also happen to be legit friends:
"Honestly, I don't give a sh*t. Of course I love Chris, his music and legacy. The artist looks extremely talented and I'm sure a generation from now we will have moving/talking video replications of people and their voices that will make this statue obsolete. I understand why people do things like this, I just have a hard time playing along and pretending a statue means anything." - Jeff, Soundgarden devotee since a fateful night in 1993, when he saw the video for "Rusty Cage" on MTV while probably wearing some LL Bean bullsh*t.
"I'm struggling with the peekaboo pics - it looks like a chocolate statue of Weird Al... I pray the delay is because someone else saw it that way and plans to fix it. Oh, and so glad VK always gets her self-promotion in there." - Ashley, Soundgarden devotee since a fateful night in 1991, when she heard "Outshined" at The A Bar in Dallas.
"It makes me mad." - Sara, life-long Seattleite and sometime Soundgarden fan since she finally got around to seeing Singles in 1994.
"I think it's wonderful to see the city embracing the memory of Chris Cornell. His music put Seattle on the map and paved the way for so many bands. He is missed every day so the statue is a nice way to honor his legacy." - Kendra, Soundgarden devotee since a fateful night in 1993, when she heard "Jesus Christ Pose" in her older sister's boyfriend's garage in Seattle.
It's important to note that the band's twitter account looks to be supportive and MoPop is a genuinely great space. I've seen many exhibitions there over the years and while it may not be ideal to some Soundgarden fans, it is a solid location.
* I'd also like to add that Ashley is right about the chocolate part. So much so, what do you think about chocolate statues with his likeness that can be given out as souvenirs at the unveiling? If that sounds inappropriate, please know I'm incredibly hungry right now.
