As meager of an accomplishment as that is, I am pretty psyched!

I know I will be putting her album on, I wish it would have been a random choice rather than for this reason. Sad that her lifestyle had the better of her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-796594992645945676.post-61774884686279972011-07-25T16:23:32.748-07:002011-07-25T16:23:32.748-07:00I already heard the entertainment media saying shw...I already heard the entertainment media saying shw was this generations Janis Joplin...Wtf are you kidding me? She had like 1 CD, everyone made fun of her for being an addict, and now she's some kind of goddess because she passed away..

That you dislike her music or the way she lived her life is no excuse for celebrating her death. <br /><br />Anyway, I'm about to favorably review Odd Future, so if you have any love for orderly conduct and polite society you best get out now.Stickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10483681977099776477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-796594992645945676.post-90791635640276364352011-07-24T13:12:01.846-07:002011-07-24T13:12:01.846-07:00Personally, I'm having an "I'm Glad A...Personally, I'm having an "I'm Glad Amy Winehouse is Dead Party" tomorrow night with mates. After the last such theme when Diana died, I'm looking forward to it. Most comments suggest that Winehouse was a pathetic, particularly vulnerable little girl who was unable to make choices in her life but instead was manipulated. If she were black she would hardly have found her end in a high-end flat in Camden. The Guardian comments for the first time are moderated before appearing and are refused unless they praise her (or the way she was manufactured and presented) and ignore how she actually lived- that of a junkie, consorting with criminals, attacking people, treating fans with contempt after deciding to appear on stage wasted, etc). Norway is a tragedy but personalities run the news. To me, this is one less self-absorbed, self-indulgent, self-pitying person who was given everything and still chose to stick two fingers up to society. Shame Russell Brand didn't join her for a night cap.Keirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17780519140837852601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-796594992645945676.post-35712867733723523122011-07-24T12:24:57.770-07:002011-07-24T12:24:57.770-07:00Chris Jones,
