wasn't really that a suprise Title: Re: Amy Winehouse Dead @ 27 Post by: lynn1961 on July 24, 2011, 01:28:53 AM I was shocked, but not surprised. Very, very sad. It would be so awful to have those types of demons and addictions that are so difficult to overcome. Personally, I wasn't into her, but she was a gifted musician who just couldn't escape herself. RIP.

...why people choose to hurt themselves I'll never know. Title: Re: Amy Winehouse Dead @ 27 Post by: pilferk on July 25, 2011, 12:47:21 PM When she was straight (which wasn't often, it seems) she had an amazing, powerful, GORGEOUS voice that was the equal to some of the greats (Billie Holliday, Ella Fitzgerald, Janis Joplin).
when she was a mess...she was a freaking disaster. You can find (though now it seems sort of morbid to watch) smoe youtube clips of her most recent concert, from June of 2010, in Belgrade. The girl was fucked up beyond all reason. SOO fucked up, I can't understand why someone didn't pull her off stage and get her help. Maybe she was beyond helping.....I don't know. Even so, even not knowing what would happen a month later, it just seems someone should have seen, THAT night, what was going on and should have pulled her off stage. Money or no money. Contract or no contract. And to have her die about a month later.....it's just tragic. "There were always ample warnings There were always subtle signs And you would have seen it comin' But we gave you too much time" I feel bad for her family....because while it's horrible that the world lost her talent...I think it's worse that her parents lost their daughter. Title: Re: Amy Winehouse Dead @ 27 Post by: pilferk on July 25, 2011, 12:52:28 PM just a fucking waste. :( ...why people choose to hurt themselves I'll never know. I don't get it, either. I'm not "wired" that way, I guess. I mean...I guess we all can do self destructive things. But the sheer extent of addiction just baffles me. My extended family has had more than it's share of addicts. Some of them died young. Some of them found sobriety. Some skate the line and are generally miserable....and make those around them miserable. I don't get the appeal. When the drugs wear off, the problems are still there. Eventually you have to cope, clean up the messes...or die. I mean, ultimately those are your only choices. And suicide (either direct or by virtue of dependance on a needle/bottle/pipe/whatever) never seems like a very good option......

Title: Re: Amy Winehouse Dead @ 27 Post by: AxlReznor on August 03, 2011, 05:38:57 AM Who the fuck cares?! People who aren't heartless pricks. :) Title: Re: Amy Winehouse Dead @ 27 Post by: Bodhi on August 03, 2011, 10:52:09 AM Who the fuck cares?! People who aren't heartless pricks. :) I think the better question is who the fuck is surprised? Is it sad yes, but when someone has no regard for their own life, and is constantly pushing it and pushing it eventually this is going to happen. I don't think anyone is really shocked by this, but I understand being sad she was a great talent.

Title: Re: Amy Winehouse Dead @ 27 Post by: D on August 03, 2011, 10:06:10 PM she's ok
only thing she has in common with Janis,Jimi,Kurt and Jim morrison is they were 27... Comparisons end there. Title: Re: Amy Winehouse Dead @ 27 Post by: Bodhi on August 04, 2011, 05:42:07 PM she's ok only thing she has in common with Janis,Jimi,Kurt and Jim morrison is they were 27... Comparisons end there. she was actually a better singer than all of them, but didn't have a resume nearly as impressive, I would say she was better than Janis, but doesn't touch the other 3. Thats tough company though, Morrison is one of the best lyricists of all-time, Hendrix is one of the best guitar players of all-time, and Kurt Cobain was one of the best songwriters of his generation...
