R.I.P. Amy Winehouse

[bassguppy]

I don't know if you've had a chance to check out some of the stuff she did before she got a bit messed up on drugs....

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

agree, I wasn't a fan but I have heard some of her music and she was certainly talented.

That didn't take long:

It's very sad when anyone succumbs to self destruction.....but a great talent? No.

I bet you don't think Lady Gaga is a great talent either !

Frankly, in light of what happened in Norway yesterday, I can't say I really care. She was lost years ago. I'd trade a thousand of her for ONE of the kids lost on that island.

Drugs are bad, hmmkay?

great voice...horrible lifestyle. not surprising it finally happened. she never wanted help to get clean and eventually gave up her music career for drugs years ago.

I've been saying this for a while (and I've been around long enough and seen enough to be firmly convinced of it):

Drugs = death. It's that simple, and it's just a matter of time.

 

[fenderhutz]

Didn't see that coming at all.

Drug addiction is a bad thing kids. Look at pictures of this poor soul from the last 7 years if you need ANY proof.

Actually, no...

Drug abuse = death

Amy just became a legend.

"REHAB" starring Lady Gaga as Amy Winehouse...

 

[bassedsouth]

Yep - no great surprise but it's sad either way you look at it . Strange to see some people put her down. She was obviously a tormented soul and probably went through a lot of personal pain judging from some of her lyrics. She could certainly express herself through a microphone though . RIP Amy

I've been around 55 years now and have seen many, many die from this. I quit being sad long ago from people flaming out. I'm just kinda numb to it after I saw a dear friend die!

 

[John Wentzien]

Welcome to the "27" club....RIP!

 

[bass12]

Actually, no...

Drug abuse = death

Important distinction - thank you.

 

[Handyman]

Very sad, but very unsurprising.

 

[gjbassist]

Another forever 27.

Oh that's right. What's up with 27? Is that the magical age for musicians to burn out?

"It's better to burn out...huh...than fade away".

Thank you Def Leppard.

(oky, Neil Young, but it's funnier to reference Def Leppard)

 

[Evil Undead]

Great talent. Very sad.

Quickie, you should know these things are subjective...I mean for instance, you think your threads are quality, yet others...

OK, OK....
