It's a shame, really, but I am not surprised, except to say I'm amazed it took this long. Her decline was truly shocking. Hard to watch. Amy Winehouse confirmed dead | Mail Online

Drugs are bad, hmmkay?

I liked a few of her tunes, didn't like the lifestyle she decided to follow.

I think she did have talent, and I don't even like her music.

|  | Online | | Join Date: Apr 2001 Location: Sunapee, New Hampshire | | | Wow, this is sad. The loss of life to drug use, especially among younger folks, is so disappointing. Hopefully others can learn from her bad choices. For me, these stories really drive home how much of an addiction drug use can be, I lose sight of that sometimes and go with the "just stop using drugs" comment.
