Dropping Like Flies

Everyone likes a good train wreck you idiot.  Especially a "woulda coulda shoulda been a contender" train wreck.

How old are you?  Have you not figured this one out yet?  Media response to this is about as predictable as my friday morning trash pickup.

And she actually had TWO good albums, which is two more than Widespread Panic or Phish.

Chaz, you must live in the suburbs if you get such reliable trash service. Be sure the shop around though. We found another trash service in our neighborhood for much cheaper…so ours is now on Mon/Thurs instead of Tues/Fri.

I just moved to Falls Church, where trash pickup is included in property tax bills, which are paid for by my landlord, so price is no concern…and I could set my watch by it.  7:30 a.m. on the dot.  Friday only, along with recycling pickup.  They show up after I leave for the day.

What a dick

WTF is wrong with you. Someone died - yes she had drug problems galore, but it doesnt make it any less sad. She was someone's daughter and you should really just STFU. This is so unnecessary.

Maybe the lead singer of Phish can OD so we can have a field day and parade it around like this is the best day ever.

Show some compassion.

Ive long come to expect this kind of talk on BrooklynVegan, but I hoped it wouldnt contaminate this board too.

So who will play her in the made for tv movie on channel 4 (uk)]

Also, am I the only one a little irritated at the comments by her closest friends and loved ones with their "shocked" "can't believe it" "at a loss for words" comments? Really? You didn't see this shit coming?

Sarah Silverman should play her

Silverman should eat some sandwiches and play the 'Frank'-era Amy and here's a solid candidate for the 'Blake' years.

Is he dead yet?

BTW - what's the difference between Amy Winehouse and Sir Alex Ferguson? Ferguson can still play Giggs!!!! (Ask a soccer fan if you don't get it)

I am going to guess that as with most addiction scenarios, her closest friends enabled it?

Isn't more more accurate to say she died from depression?

all i did, was question the media coverage of a person who died.  like with michael jackson.  one day a villian, the next day a hero.  it is still going on.  then i was called names and told the music i like sucks and maybe the people who front the bands i like should die.  nice.  and then we have your comment . . . but you're worshipped around here, so i guess i'm in the wrong.  did you cry when jeffrey dahmer died?  i mean he had problems . . . but he was a person.  he was someone's son.

Walkonby, you say Winehouse is a terrible psycopath, I say she is a tragic depressive. Some people just liked her music.  I say Phishs soulless goofy music is a worse crime than substance abuse and a death spiral of poisonous relationships.  Don't make purposefully offensive statements and then act like a victim.  Its embarrassing.

Am I missing something? Did Phish's crunchy grooves kill Amy Winehouse?

"F*cking good riddance to bad rubbish. I don´t give a f*cking sh*t, and nobody else does either. It is just fun to fake sympathy, that's all they're doing." - Johnny Rotten on Elvis Presely's death.

I have to agree on Walkie on this one.

First of all Mobius, if Winehouse was depressed, we're ALL depressed.  Just because she was a good singer with SOME grit doesn't make her an esteemed artist above and immune to the slings and arrows of outrageous Twitter feeds.

I mean it would have been NICE to have a few more Nirvana, Amy Winehouse, etc. records.  (But no one really missed any more Sex Pistols records.  Sid never played a note anyhow.  Talk about famous for being famous.  "England for the English…")  But they weren't strong enough to handle their drug use or strong enough to quit.  Why cry tears?  Amy Winehouse had all the resources in the world and was offered help to quit multiple times.  Partially because people cared about her but more likely because they could make a lot of money off of her.  And she enjoyed doing drugs more than signing.  We're supposed to mourn that?  A 27 year-old junkie named Amy in Middle America?  No one gives a sh*t about her.  She's getting no help what-so-ever.  No $$$.

You know who REALLY could have helped her.  Dr. Drew and Celebrity Rehab.  I mean, they've only lost, what?  Two this year?  Amy Fisher would be next anyhow.

THAT'S why everyone wants to be famous.  Because you can get away with anything and all your faults and weaknesses are "tragic" and "sad" post-mortem.

We don't have to worry about Pete Doherty anymore.  He's 32!

You know who really gets the shaft in the "Forever 27" club?  Robert Johnson.  The man made a deal with the DEVIL!  That's slightly more badass than bitching, whining and moaning about not being able to do a Bowie cover on "Unplugged."  And he influenced EVERYBODY.  Well, except for pasty-faced, over-educated, nerdy white boys who worship the Holy Trinity of Cave, Young and Tweedy. 

So the Venn Diagram of rock influences is Alex Chilton for the virgins.  Robert Johnson for everybody else.

Brian

More Nirvana music???

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?? I Would've blown my own brains out had I been sujected to that shit for much longer.


By the way…I just got an email from a dyslexic friend informing me someone died in an army warehouse in north London…..

There's a difference between making more music and dying.  Some folks succesfully make a definitive statement and walk away when that's best for them, or when circumstances dictate.

I consider Johnny Rottens comment about Elvis to be a political statement relevant to a specific time and geared toward the opposition. . .intended to be controversial. . .not anything relevant to the pros and cons of the Sun Sessions.  That attitude led to the sacking of Matlock and the killing of the Sex Pistols . . .which secured their mythology so probably for the best
