Ian Hates Music #117 - 1-800-273-TALK

This is not a typical Ian Hates Music. In fact, it's probably more along the lines of an Ian Hates Conversations. This time though, it's Ian and Jackson having an open and honest conversation on Chester Bennington passing away last week. Mostly it's about suicide prevention, depression, freedom of speech, blame, and everything in between. The title of this episode is the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline number 1-800-273-TALK. Ian and Jackson wanted to have a free-flowing conversation and not write a long status update or put out knee-jerk reactions through Twitter. They have mics, why not use them? No sound effects, no intro, no music. Real talk for anyone who wants to listen.If you're depressed, want to hurt yourself, or you're suicidal, please speak to someone. It's extremely important.
