May 13, 1994 –
Soundgarden released the second single off their album Superunknown, Black Hole Sun, on this date.
The band is named after a sculpture in Seattle called “Soundgarden,”
and longtime speculation was that this song got its name from another Seattle sculpture called “Black Sun” by the artist Isamu Noguchi.
(The piece is located in Volunteer Park on Capitol Hill. It looks kind of like a huge, black doughnut and is aimed so you can see the Space Needle through the middle of it.)
And so it goes.
