While I can't classify her as a talent with so many of the "Rock Gods" who died at 27 (after all she was mostly a singer- though I will say she was closer to Joplin in that way and my how fitting they took the same paths to destruction), it is still a terrible waste of talent. Never nice to see anyone die mind you, but especially a good one like Amy. The fact she was clean recently and died tells me perhaps she thought she could take a drug again in a quantity she had done them before in. But that will get someone who's weened themselves off it. Keef in his book said that was the thing that got most junkies, and what killed Gram Parsons (oh yeah, he was 27 too). Their tolerance gets weakened. I just hope slime like her husband and her management and record company don't start cashing in by digging through her vaults or releasing a hit collection. That would stink of classless greed. Let her fans mourn in their own way, let people go back through her old records instead of making her death an excuse to make money. And let not a cent of the possible spike in her music's popularity go to that waste of space Blake Fielder "Not So"-Civil.

No kidding... I don't know about alot of you, but i barely made it into my 30's... I was 125 lbs, strung out to shit and desperate between 26 and 28 yrs old... a friend of mine showed my a pic from when I was 24, and I got skinnier and scarier looking.... and yea, the cutoffs and shorts are lame ass fashion... no excuse... it was what you wear in a dentist chair in your apartment when you're getting a tattoo in 1990...

I was thiking about that today as well Sioux. A lot of fuss made about the "27"club. But I was wondering if someone looked back at history if their might not be the same tragic results at different ages. Though I suppose it doesn't really matter. Gone too soon...is still gone too soon. Cry

Now we have to listen to the fucking media's ignorance, exaggerations, one-off stories, dramatic instances, inaccuracies, and lies about drug use. What you will not hear is that there is a certain fortitude, probably genetic, to successful hard core drug use, soft core drug use, or any drug use Some (<<<<46 male, conservative, 163 IQ, endowed, honky) have it, some don't. Somewhat more accurately (although not always so), some have it when they are relatively young and are sensible enough to realize its waning when they get relatively older. Amy Winehouse didn't have any of it, at all, ever, from what I can tell. A cannabis joint could have killed her (although it was probably cocaine). That is the sad part of this, on many levels, she never had a chance from the day she first got high. She couldn't handle drugs in the slightest.

I totally agree. So many of our rock stars have died in their 50's and 60's as well. It seems that if they reach the 70 year old mark, they live a full life....

Pretty much. She was one of those who completely let it engulf her and she eventually succumbed to it we presume. Keith is a #1 example of how someone can survive and succeed despite heavy drug use. Amy sadly is on the other end of that spectrum. She's like ex-Neil Young confidante and Crazy Horse member Danny Whitten. Within 3 years of becoming a junkie, he was gone. Could not handle it whatsoever. Took Amy about 5 or 6 years but she eventually flamed out too. And yet Ozzie Osbourne still walks the Earth.

i wouldn't say Keith was successful at drinking and drugging. He may have escaped death and long prison sentences... but after reading his book, if you really look at what he did, to his friends and family around him, and put into context, not that it's Keith our fave guitarist or read it from his narcisistic perspective. Keith did some really, really lame shit. He was a shitty Dad to Marlon, a bad husband and lover to many. He often was violent or argumentative to people unprovoked. Let's be real, when you look at people who act like this, without the glam or their view of it, they are really just lousy drunks and druggies. IMO, he was far from exempt or succesful, just lucky. He still, as we know, is a pretty sharp tongued prick too, He has succeeed despite these things, but that doesn't mean many people haven't been hurt and damaged by his actions along the way.

everybody always forgets about pigpen when discussing the 27 club. the loss of him and his beard make it doubly tragic.

sad that otis couldn't have lived another half year or so...he would be a sparkling addition to this club.
