Audioslave’s ‘Like a Stone’ Joins YouTube’s Billion Views Club

Over 1 Billion views!!!! So proud of you – I hope you can see it, I know it would make you so happy! I remember when this video came out, every time I’d turn on the tv there you were, every single time without fail. You’d tell me it was a sign that you were my soul mate…. I love you so much and I’m so so proud and our babies are so so very proud. Christopher saw it before anyone, over a week ago and came running to the kitchen to show me; just beaming with pride for his daddy. We miss you and love you so very much.
