R.I.P. Amy

Posted in ,
I just found out that one of my favourite singers Amy Winehouse was found dead in her apartment this afternoon. She was only 27. Such a talented artiste even though her talent was overshadowed by her problems with drugs and alcohol. I was routing for you Amy, i always hoped she would have gotten her act together; she never did. Too bad. I've been a fan of Amy Winehouse before she made it big in America with her album Back to Black. One of the first song of hers that I fell in love with was 'Fuck Me Pumps' - those were the days before she wore a beehive, had those sailor tattoes and even had a little meat on her bones. Talent wise, she was was good from beginning till end - drunken/missed performances and all. I guess that's just Amy for you. I know many folks who trashed her in life, will have many nice things to say about her now that she's gone  (hipocrites) but it's all words (even this), none of it will bring her back. I hope her life was at least a lesson to anyone out there looking for peace at the bottom of a shot glass or the end of a needle. Those ings never have and never will heal a broken heart. Rest in peace Amy.
