Folks here don’t sympathize with tragedy much unless it’s abuse of kittens or puppies...that will have them calling for capital punishment

and like you...I think it’s nasty human nature to be so callous...and I don’t like it either

I thought Winehouse was a sad figure and dirty looking but she could sing for folks who like that sort of gritty style..like Rickie Lee Jones but more range.

I prefer Dusty Springfield

Thanks. I guess I don’t hide it very well, but I was a huge fan of her music, and that style of jazz in general. I was fortunate enough to see her perform live at two different concerts. We won’t have another one like her for awhile.

Should she be held up as a role model? Because that is what's happening. She wasted her life and talent. And that should NOT be forgotten simply because she's dead.

Why romanticize a dead person? But kids are doing it. And that will lead to emulation. Just what we need, more lost, dead young people.

And you’d think that with all of the caustic music out there, all the RAP (which is more properly called CRAP), that encourages misogyny, among other things, that people who care about children would focus on THAT. Amy’s CDs never had Parental Advisory/Explicit Lyrics stickers slapped on them.
