Black [Hole?] Sun – by Isamu Noguchi, Volunteer Park, Capitol Hill

“Many mistakenly believe Soundgarden’s hit single “Black Hole Sun” was inspired by Noguchi’s sculpture, as the band took their name from another outdoor public art work in Seattle, “A Sound Garden“, and the resemblance of the song’s title to Noguchi’s work. However, singer-songwriter Chris Cornell attributes the song’s inspiration to a misheard news broadcast.”

Too bad – I believed that until I went to tell you guys about it just now, and found out it’s not true. Still a pretty cool sculpture, and a great place to have lunch!
