Winehouse has done herself in. Not suprising.R.I.P

[Vanna]

Im so fucking sad about Amy. She was so fucking talented. Robbed of decades of majesty.

Apparently Kelley Osbourne was crying so hard she found time to tweet about it.

Somehow this makes me so sad. I'm fucking crying, and I know it makes no sense.

Amy's legacy is the revival of the genre of real, interpretive, solo female vocalist.

Sad she couldn't overcome her demons.

And fuck those grief tourists outside her house.

[interest1]

Thinking of how this young woman's life spiraled out of her own control as the mass public offered only its ridicule in return is what I find most chilling about her passing.

When Winehouse first hit the scene, she single-handedly revived an entire genre of music, and became instantly revered for it. Fast forward a relatively short while later and her personal struggles are shoved under a microscope & aired more than her music, essentially swapping out any respect she'd earned with her talent, for mockery she couldn't escape in her private life. This is the tragedy of her legacy.

I feel for her and how it's taken death to find the peace which eluded her in life.

Im not the one who posts things like r.i.p. to someone on forums.

But here i agree with Eternal, Amy had it coming, i mean sooner or later the road with drug abuse ends if not treated. She joined the "club27" like all other rock&roll stars that died too early.

Teenagers,kids, some old as me got their future taken from them. I mean an attack on politicians is somehow more understandable (dont get me wrong) but on innocent children and teenagers, that i do not understand.

My sister lost a friend. One of her closest friends survived. Some of her friends and co-workers lost many.

I don't like comparing the importance of people's deaths, but as a Norwegian I understand Eternal's point of view. We are a small country, and this affects everyone. Imagine the US losing 5000 activist youths.

Neither am I. Or anywhere else for that matter. I wrote to my former Norwegian classmate, but I always feel strange broadcasting my feelings on the internet. I mean, I cannot feel the scope of the tragedy to the fullest, so I feel disingenuous commenting. Having said that, Eternal, I understand your grievance. I hope you and your loved ones are OK. I know you will unite and persevere as a country.

[Pumpfish]

I'm sorry for anyone effected by what happened in Norway.

I can comment on Amy because what she did to herself, I understand.

I cannot comment on what happened in Norway, not least because I cannot understand how someone could do this. And attempting to explain will add to the pain.

I can express sorrow and sympathy, and I do.

For the people who comment on the death of Amy Winehouse but not the situation in Norway I feel sorry for what celebrity culture has done to you. . .

Keep your shirt on, dear. I agree with your overall sentiment wholeheartedly, but please remember, this is a Randomness thread in which you are commenting, not Critical World Affairs. As such, one's choice to comment on one subject takes nothing away from another. Nothing.

Simply making my comments through the filter of logic, not emotion.

✶ And for those who believe that people who struggle with the illness of drug dependency – and lose their struggle – "have it coming", shame on you for not knowing better. I welcome you to look her father in the eye and tell that to him.

Preach. They are two completely different situations independent of each other. Feeling a certain way about one of them doesn't mean you feel any less about the other.

Though I battle blind, love is a fate resigned. Sigh...

Had my first SZ meet up recently with Casem. Last night and today. He's really cool.

[Faust]

/\ Last night that turned into today or on two occasions?

[Vanna]

^Last night we just bumped into each other randomly at Metropolitan. Today we had a brunch that was planned, at 5 leaves. He couldn't finish his pancakes!
