Amy Winehouse DEAD!

Alcohol Withdrawal May Have Caused Amy Winehouse's Death: What Is It?

If this is true, I wonder if the trolls will feel bad for jumping the gun or stick to the "it's her fucking loser fault" line

 

[No spoken words]

If you were to merge those three threads, the waterfalls in Australia might start flowing upward again. Think of how many mice Friggin Cobbler had to sacrifice to his cat to set it straight the first time around

Would COBL's friends still be able to smoke ice if that happened?

I would've loved to hear their indignant response to their dealer after that. "Are you fair dinkum? We wanted speed not meth. What are you trying to do, kill us??"

would love to buy it, but can't.

For the record, the Whineyhouse thing is really clever. I feel like you haven't been given enough credit for your wizardry with the English language.

Agreed. Where others might clobber us over the head with it...he manages to employ an unrivalled subtlety here. One might even have missed it the first, oh, 3 or 4 times!

 

[lazarus]

I guess he could have gone with "Alky Whineyhouse" or "Junky Whineyhouse", but maybe he didn't want to send us into uncontrollable hysterics.

Given that she most likely died an alcohol-related death, you would think someone could do something with the fact that she had "wine" in her name.

Oh, but that would be in poor taste.

 

[lazarus]

R.I.P. Alky Wine-souse.

 

[Danny Boy]

Genius.

How better to appreciate the situation?

Alcoholicky Wineanddrugabusinghouse would agree.

this thread has gone from an ironic five stars to a real five stars.

[Earnie Shavers]

Yeah, well, I just read this now and it couldn't not be added to this thread I suppose:

Q: What have Amy Winehouse and Michael Jackson got in common?
A: They both had a 10 year-old crack addiction.

[lazarus]

Do you have PROOF of that, Earnie??

 

[Danny Boy]

No proof, but from here forward I will subtly refer to him as Michael Crack-son.

Spoiler

Or perhaps My-that's-a-nice Crack-son.

 

[MrPryck2U]

Ok, here's one more for the tasteless pile:


Maybe her name should have been Any Winehouse.

 

[lazarus]

Well done, sir.

I finally heard an Amy Winehouse song, the other day. "Rehab." I thought it sucked and am stunned that it was (correct me if I'm wrong...?) really fucking popular. I feel bad that she died, of course, but it makes the outpouring of grief sort of hard for me to comprehend and contextualize. Did millions of people really fall in love with that song, when it was initially released? Somebody fill me in.

And I'm not trolling. I'm just curious. I don't really pay any attention to the pop charts, and am simply having trouble reconciling the song's popularity with the nature of what I (apparently/totally mis-)understand as modern popular music. RIP, etc., but I'm confused. And ignorant, obviously. Inform me.

 

[If you shout...]

Oh, and I like The Doors.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Oh yeah. Song was huge when it was first came out.

 

[LemonMelon]

Wow, Amy must really be proliferating radio right now if Shouter heard Rehab. Are they transmitting her music underground?

 

[cobl04]

"he just cares more than most people"

 

[LMP]

I'm curious as to why no one mentions Brian Jones amid all this "27 Club" business. He was as much an influence in structuring the classic Stones sound as Mick or Keith, and therefore deserves to be mentioned alongside Morrison and Cobain, I think.

Am I nobody to you?

He also brought Anita Pallenberg into the mix, so there's that.

 

[If you shout...]

Was there a lot of stuff that sounded "like this" getting play, at the time, or was she kind of the only one going that route? It just feels, like, garishly out of step with the vast, overwhelming majority of the pop radio I sort of know, from the last five or so years.

Also, perhaps contrary to popular belief, YouTube still is not the radio. But who knows what tomorrow will bring?

 

[lazarus]

It was out of step. And it was this retro style combined with trendy production that made it unique.

I think her rendition of an Ella Fitzgerald standard is a pretty great display of her vocal talent, which she'll be remembered for more than her writing:

‪Amy Winehouse - Lullaby Of Birdland(Live)‬‏ - YouTube

 

[If you shout...]

God damn, that was bitchin'. Good call.

You are definitely someone. I should have said "hardly anyone."

 

[Danny Boy]

I'm just reading the August issue of Q and they have an article on Rock & Roll's biggest boozers. Any Winehouse came in at #6 on the list. Everyone has a status listed by their name (deceased, sober, etc.) and they have her down for "unknown."

Obviously went to press before last week. Nice timing on the article, Q.

BTW, Rock & Roll's #1 boozer is...

Spoiler

Shane McGowan (status: still drinking)

Doesn't anyone like Love Is Blind or Tears Dry On Their Own?
