Amy Winehouse dead? It was Mooslim terrirsts? I can haz heroin cheezbrgr?
More seriously ... I don't listen to too much "modern" rock, so I don't "get" the degree to which some people miss her.
The real issue, besides putting entertainers, and athletes, on stupid pedestals, is ...
She was an addict who probably, in some way, shape or form, refused to admit she was an addict.
The second point is that addiction is tricky and difficult.
The third point, before "Steppers" start speaking out, is that 12-Step methodologies don't work that well, and aren't the only way to get peer-group addiction recovery support.
The fourth point is that there's a fine line on satire, yes. But, satire in some way, shape or form is almost always appropriate.
The fifth, related point is that ... she's DEAD. If you had her on a pedestal as a musician, find someone better. If you had her as a pedestal as a naive waif or whatever, get a clue about Amy Winehouse, about addiction and about your own life.
