Rest In Peace Amy Winehouse

Unless you’ve been compulsively preparing for the zombie apocalypse, you have probably heard about Amy Winehouse’s death. For all you ignoramuses out there, Winehouse was a British soul chanteuse with an amazing voice and gritty lyrics. Unfortunately she passed away a few days ago. An autopsy is still underway, but many people suspect her death was caused by drugs or alcohol abuse. In the last couple of years, the tabloid press had covered extensively Winehouse’s substance abuse issues. At different times, she was caught strung out walking the streets of Camden, bruised and bloodied after fighting with useless turd and “husband” Blake Civil Fielder, and completely incoherent while performing in concert. Youtube and the Daily Mail website have tons of footage available. For many fans, her death was not a complete surprise. After being in and out of “Rehab” for most of 2009 and 2010, fans and music industry insiders were expecting a new album and subsequent tour. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to see Amy in concert anymore. All we have left is the music and the memories.

Amy Winehouse didn’t die on her own, those around her failed to save her. Her family, managers, and band mates were concerned more with making money and furthering their careers. Amy was just the cash cow from whose teats they fed themselves. Amy’s demise wasn’t sudden, her downward spiral lasted more than 3 years. Pictures from this time period show her weight loss, harried look and constant erratic behavior. It was pretty obvious Amy’s addiction had gotten the best of her, but no one close to her seemed to take any action. Someone should’ve forced her to go to rehab and to stay clean. Her parents seemed either aloof to what was happening or they’re complete retards. Why did her manager allow her to take the stage so many times, seeing her condition? Why didn’t family and friends make a real concerted effort to help Amy? I wonder if Great Britain has a law similar to the Baker Act (The Baker Act is a genius idea). Sometimes addicts need to be forced into treatment, they can’t make the right decisions by themselves, they’re too depressed. If they could they wouldn’t become addicts in the first place. And the main question: how come no one got rid of Blake? Amy’s descent started once she hooked up with the asshole. Again, Amy Winehouse didn’t die on her own, those around her let her die.
