I liked some of her music. It's just tragic how her life has ended like this. I hope she finds peace at last.

I think the song is clearly about drugs and alcohol, not skin color.

When she sings "black" she is talking about escaping from her reality by using enough intoxicants to black out.

Also, check out this awesome performance she gave last month singing her single "Back to Black".

Strictly age-wise....yeah at 27 you are expected to know what your body can handle.

But mentally she was a rebellious young teenager. She was an adult child without any sense of restraint or self-control.

Breaking news.... Amy Winehouse Died today 3:55PM BST. (2 hours ago at the time of this post.)

No where near as upsetting as what has just happened in Norway, but heres the news article for those who would like details

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14262237
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...rmed-dead.html

Then make a thread about Norway and not about her. I'd like to remind us all about our Commandments.

I don't think she was a good singer. Kind of mediocre if you ask me.

Her voice was very unique, I'll give her that. It's sad to see talent go to waste, but that's the only sad part of this tale, in my opinion.

I have never felt sympathy for those who destroy themselves. Suicide, overdoses, deaths caused from substance abuse (liver disease from drinking, etc.), I barely pity them.

I agree the Rasterbee, as usual. Amy's hit song was, 'I don't want to go to rehab.' Nothing about her death is a surprise or an unexpected occurrence. Furthermore, she was no where near the level of Hendrix, Morrison, Cobain. To even consider her as such is preposterous and doesn't do justice to them. It's insulting.
I'm offended.

But, Skirata is correct. Perhaps we can shift the topic of this thread to a discussion of lost celebrities. Yes. Glad everyone agrees!
Carry on. =)

I've never been into chess that much but I can appreciate a game every now and then.

Has anyone visited Jim Morrison's grave, by chance?

Told my 19 yr old brother about her death and he was shocked. Surprised her knew who she was. But then again he is in a band and takes it upon himself to know people from all genres.

Please correct me if i am mistaken.
:pirate:
oh, btw i quite like this song, its got that high noon gunfight feel about it. Tarrantino will no doubt use this one in one of his movies, just his style.

Relevant reposting of link.

I only heard of maybe two of those people. I just heard of Amy today. The only reason i know who Michael is, is everyone should know who he is. And Heath Ledger was the Joker in that Batman movie everyone claims to hate. Saw Patrick on the cover of some sleeze magazine in Wal-Mart looking like a walking skeleton. And the others idk who they are.

Gene Colan - think Comics.. i cannot be the only one in this forum who's read them. Marvel anyone?

Michael Jackson - Everyone should know, don't pretend u don't.

Patrick Swayze - Think Dirty Dancing or Ghost

Clarence Clemons - Think Sax and E Street Band... if u till don't get it think Bruce Springsteen

Heath Ledger ... I admit to having a crush on him when he was alive... loved his movies 10 things I hate about you, The Patriot, A Knights Tale, Four Feathers, Brokeback Mountain (yes even though he kissed a guy, get over it), and The Dark Night obviously...

1. He was a writer for them... a human can't literally be in a comic...
3. That's what reruns are for... for the record I'm in my early 20's...
4. Google it if you still don't get it...
5. yep

I've only watched it once. I know it's not the kind of movie people will regard as a classic piece of cinema 50 years from. I'm not some Heath fangirl mind you, but I was entertained. Maybe I was just really stoned and only really remember the bank robbery scene though.

That and the pencil magic scenes were great.
