Amy Winehouse.RIP

thanks for all the great music Amy, RIP. "they cannot tolerate our minds" & that's okay too

Go to any respectable jazz club.and you will.her.a female.vocalist doing the billie holiday type of thing...they dressed amy up.with some modern beats and then had her play the victim/martyr card...whoopeee...sorry...doesnt have much staying power...too contrived

Phase, thats another great point but dont step on the sad toes here as its only ok to participate if you agree with them.

Enter Phasecorrect with more of the same drivel. What IS wrong with some of you?!! Is it that you've all been kicked around some?!? Did Amy Winehouse suffer from an oft times fatal and progressive Disease?...Disease being the operative word folks. Yes she did. And did she display behavior that was at times embarrassing and offensive? Yes she did. More often than not what we saw was the fallout of the disease. Did she bring her tragic fate upon herself? I guess one could say that she did. Does that make her any less of a human being who carried many of the contradictions that most of us as fellow human beings carry ? No. Things are not black and white, and cut and dry as many of you would believe. She certainly doesn't deserve to be trashed as many of you have done. I'd like to remind the religious among us that Jesus would not approve.

Well what started out as RIP tribute to a fallen human being has encompassed it all, religion, politics, name calling and sadly enough, by some a lack of demonstrable understanding of the meaning of the words civility, respect and compassion. A reflection of the building tension and division in our society maybe? When we stop caring for each other as individuals and collectively, and feel free to say whatever pops into our heads with thoughless abandon all the while smug in our convictions that whatever we want to say is ok without consideration for others, we all lose. We'll all get what's coming to us for sure, not just Amy. I am really surprised at the hard boiled callousness demonstrated, particularly on a thread such as this where we should be coming together, the irony.
