I know where you’re coming from.

I tried pot four times over the course of several years and nothing much happened. The fifth time it blew my head off and I got the fear big time. Never touched it since.

I tried acid ONCE. It had it’s interesting aspects but it lasted way too long and I was terrified it would never let go of me (nine hours or so). No thanks!

And now you know the rest of the story...

Jeepers! She must have been truly awful if your friend’s son dumped a hot piece like her.

[Kaslin]

I don’t remember that one

Punch it up on YouTube.com

If you can’t discuss the article then don’t say nothing at all

I heard she was a heavy smoker and that probably destroyed her vocals.

[Drew68]

A number of people blamed her ex-husband, but he had been out of the picture for some time.

Bobby Brown seemed to take all the blame for Whitney's descent into addiction, as though she was some innocent angel before he ever walked into her life. Truth is, Whitney's public image was carefully tended and those who knew her know that she was dabbling in drugs long before Bobby Brown came into the picture.

Dolly Parton was the one who originally sang "I Always Love You" in the movie The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. She wrote it in 1973 for her one-time partner and mentor Porter Wagoner, with whom she was having a business splitting at the time

Dolly Parton I will Always Love You Background and composition

Personally, Dolly Parton's version is my favorite. Not that there is anything wrong with Houston's version

[Kaslin]

Now you are speculating too, of what she died

[stanne]

Is that why they play it on Armed Forces Network at the close of the day every day?

[dfwgator]

Her performance, there, epitomizes and legitimized the foul practice of making OUR National Anthem all about the performer, and not about OUR Country.

Blame that on Jose Feliciano at the 68 World Series.

“She must have been truly awful if your friend’s son dumped a hot piece like her.”

If by “hot” you mean a ghetto born and raised crack whore, well then, you’re right.

Piss off, punk.

A couple of Bill O’Reilly derangement sufferers, don’t think so. They only read who the author was and then started bashing him without reading the article

[HereInTheHeartland]

No one knows how or why she died at this point. People shouldn't speculate until the data has been gathered.

I read the article and then bashed it (post #74). I will say I was less than flabbergasted to see O’Reilly write such twaddle.

Best rendering of the National Anthem at a Super Bowl, ever.

I thought Tom Sullivan's rendition at Super Bowl X was the best. And unlike Whitney, he performed it live.

[Kaslin]

I did, but I still don’t remember it

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

Taped or not, it sounded fantastic. And she sold it really well, because she at least looked proud and joyful at the right parts.

It was the first thing they put on the screen when my unit redeployed back home from the Gulf in May 1991. First bit of TV, movie, etc. we'd seen since we left the States. I don't think there was anyone in my battery that wasn't choked up wahtching/hearing it.

So regardless of how may people want to mock it, it meant a whole lot for some of us.
