Don't get me wrong, I would never wish death upon anyone, but the recent passing of Amy Winehouse is something I really don't care much about.
There's no denying her situation was very unfortunate and addictions are addictions, meaning she probably didn't have a lot of control over it. It is partly her fault though, because as far as I know, the drugs and booze were not forced on her when she first started. If she hadn't said "No, No, No" to Rehab, she might still be here though.
If anything, I hope that this will send a message to people. I hope that, in the circumstances, something good comes out of it and it will make an impact on at least one person who will say no to drugs. I think that would be a good result.
I feel sorry for Amy, I think we all do in a way. The fame got to her head and where has it left her? In the 27 club (the famous celebrities that have died at the age of 27). The voice is gone but I'm not particularly mourning, her music was good but she had done nothing in the last 5 years. The people I REALLY feel sorry for is her family and friends who have lost a loved one through no fault of their own. They are the ones that I really feel for in this.
What annoys me about this though is that it is know competing with the devastating massacre in Norway. More than 70 lives vs 1 and the contest is really even. The situation in Norway is so horrible and its one of those things that I can't even imagine. All my love goes out to the whole nation of Norway and everyone who has been affected in anyway.
People in this world do the most terrible things to each other.... and yet manage to do terrible things to themselves too (in Amy's case). There's no doubt that it's all messed up.
