Amy Don't Need No Rehab Anymore

[Dmoney]

I still actually really quite sad about this. Which is bizarre. I always think people dying is a a great shame, whoever they might be, but I never actually feel particularly sad about it. Odd. She reminds me of someone though (not an addict) and of a few others (who are/have been) and she's my age so I guess that's it.

So you're 27?

Bugger, I was hoping to see Chronocide live sometime  :lol:

You worried he's going to join the 27 club... or because the average life expectancy in Scotland is something like 32 years?

Although it's worn off for me now, I too was surprisingly affected by it. I'm quite matter-of-fact about death, and I don't often feel much in the way of personal sadness when someone goes - even when I know them or am related to them. And to be honest I didn't really give a bugger about her or her music or her antics, I'd usually avoid any headlines about her... She didn't mean anything in my little world... until I heard about her death... and then I was actually in tears when I told my missus about it ten minutes later. She was visibly upset too.

Years ago I knew some folk who could have ended up like she has - they might even have done so for all I know. I did wonder whether that has anything to do with it, but I don't think it does in my case... (and I'm old enough to be her Dad! :lol:)

Still, whatever it is, the journey she decided to take and then the way she went, it's touched a nerve somewhere.

Ah, understood!  :lol:

I know what you mean, I've occasionally - and unexpectedly - felt quite sad about the deaths of famous people (though can't think of any examples now).  I'm unmoved in the case of Amy Winehouse though, I'm afraid.

Same here, though generally only people who I admire to some degree. Humphrey Lyttelton and Willie Rushton for example. About Willie Rushton, here:

He is greatly missed.

I still wear my 2007 ISIHAC "humph" T-shirt with pride.

EDIT: Nevermind I replied before noticing there was another page of replies explaining the 27 club reference :lol:

been to see her a couple of times with the wife and its always been a good show.

although the last time we went,  4 years ago i think, the backing singers were really carrying her, but there were really good.   and she had developed that odd stagger/dance
