A good friend of mine died that way. Clean for few months, then loaded up a junkie shot.





As for the "saw that coming" sentiment, it's a little crass, but not really outside the bounds of general commentary in my opinion. But that's just my opinion.

not sure if Saba is joking, but I think he was as well. And I haven't seen the doc.

It's not for someone else to do.
 
Many times musical talent/genius is accompanied by, and in some cases a result of, serious emotional issues.





Rarely can anything be done to remedy this and a premature death is often the result.





It seems to be a part of some natural, organic order of things.





It certainly wasn't Brian Wilson who wrote "It's better to burn out than to fade away".





RIP

There's a lotta things about me you don't know anything about, Dottie. Things you wouldn't understand. Things you couldn't understand. Things you shouldn't understand.

Why is so hard to believe that he didn't just off himself ?





- given the Rome incident just weeks before, plus his self-proclaimed family 'suicide genes' b/w his constant romanticism about the idea of suicide and the 27 club (plus about 100 other contributing factors.. including manic depression)

It just is. It doesn't keep me up at night, I don't worship at a Nirvana/Cobain temple, I haven't done any research. It's just one of those funny things I believe.

Oh, ok.

I love that bassie's response was essentially the same as Dottie's.

E.G. Daily was a cutie pie. Did she ever record any good albums? I have one she did but I don't remember anything significant about it.
 
I was back in England for my brother's wedding this weekend and, as if the massacre in Norway wasn't horrifying enough, I got back to the hotel after a few beers with my youngest brother and my nephew, turned on the TV and I was like, oh fuck, oh, Jesus fucking Christ. Unbelievably gutted. This is going to hurt for a long time.





I wrote this last month. Like AK, I wanted her to win. Inevitable as this now seems, it's still fucking awful.

Thank you for that.


I agree with you 100%.


Drugs makes most everyone less artistic not more.





I had never seen that clip of Teach Me Tonight. Great.


I think Winehouse's vulnerability really shines through and it is that vulnerability that makes her so compelling.
