Coldplay's Chris Martin Performed An Incredibly Moving Tribute To Linkin Park's Chester Bennington
Before beginning the cover of Linkin Park's song, Martin addressed the audience, letting them know it was for anyone who was missing someone:
When Chester Bennington, the frontman for Linkin Park, died on July 20, 2017, it left a hole in the music industry. Two weeks later, the tributes are still coming in — most recently from Coldplay's Chris Martin.
At a concert on Tuesday at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, #ChrisMartin performed a touching cover of “Crawling” to show his respect and love for the late artist. The haunting lyrics reached out to the rapt audience. Watch the beautiful performance below:
Before beginning the cover of #LinkinPark's song, Martin addressed the audience, letting them know it was for anyone who was missing someone:
“From time to time, we like to do a cover song. We’re gonna do one right now – I hope it’s OK. It may not sound that great, but it’s meant in good faith. This is for anybody who’s missing somebody, and this is for our whole community of musicians.”
Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda expressed his gratitude to #Coldplay on Instagram, telling Martin that the cover was beautiful.

Frankie's Song of the Week: Espresso - Sabrina Carpenter
A little something different from me while I deal with the strain of writers block. I thought I'd do a song of the week, because I have been surely annoying my neighbours and my friends with this absolute musical GEM. I am of course talking about Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter.

Taylor Swift's "The Tortured Poets Department" Fan Review
I met Taylor Swift at the Mall of America in Bloomington, MN when I was eleven (maybe freshly twelve?) years old. At this point, Swift had one single on the radio, "Tim McGraw," and she was essentially a nobody. My god how things have changed. I was a fan then and I'm probably considered a superfan now. This is my first impression of her most recent album release, "The Tortured Poets Department."

The Gen Z Entrepreneurial Revolution
It is hardly debatable that the world has always been run by a bunch of aging dinosaurs, mostly male, who refuse to allow the younger generation to bring about changes. Politicians and leaders everywhere refuse to release the reigns of creativity and leadership until they are dead or dying. It is time to give the young a chance to revolutionize and change the entire landscape of their existence. Those of us with one foot in the grave, so to speak, should wake up and realize that we are not the ones who will be living in the world in the years to come.
