Title: RIP, Amy Winehouse
Post by: MysterD on Saturday, July 23, 2011, 10:56:06 AM

Way too soon, Amy is gone at 27. (http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/stopthepresses/392228/singer-amy-winehouse-found-dead/)
RIP, Amy.

Not surprised given the lifestyle she lives - but still, it's sad.
I was hoping she'd get herself together...

Looks like they told her to go to hell. TOO SOON?

I have to confess I had no idea who she was until this happened.  What I've seen of her since looks like a train wreck, musical talent aside.  Shame, but there's no one to blame here but her.  She's in good company.  (Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix spring to mind, among others.)

I don't feel too bad for her, she did it to herself.  Sure, she was hopelessly addicted and I've seen what that can do to people first hand and how difficult it is to fight such addictions, but no one forced her to take the drugs in the first place.  I mean how many people do heroin and end up living a long life and how well known are its addictive affects?  There is no way but down once you start.

Ray Charles, for one.

I worked with drug addicts for a time, but even still I'm finding it very difficult to feel sorry for her.

In a way, the people that were around her that continued to enable her behavior are more at fault.
