LOVE IS A LOOSING GAME!

Amy Winehouse is a soulful songbird with raspy melody and dread that flowed through words. Words on a page that will be dearly missed. It makes me sad to see another talented songstress perish to the epic Hollywood fail at the young age of 27.

Her talent and magical music genius was incomparable. Her raw love affair with drug addiction and husband Blake made a very dangerous concoction for destruction. I watched a recap of Amy Winehouse life today and a gentleman that knew her stated " he does not want to accredit Blake for her success but if he did not provide the darkness and complexity into her life she probably would not of had the raw material to write her music". Whats unfortunate about that statement is Ive said many times that I liked the sad, depressed, drug induced Mary J. Blidge. Her music during that time tantalized the soul and almost put you under a spell of some sort. Not until he made that comment, I realized a pattern of how we as listeners' welcome drugs, despair, and good music as a combo package. I begin to ask myself, are we responsible for the demise of most of these artist? They know the music sounds best when people are in a bad place. The uninhibited sound of pain is true and more than most experience that. We crave it! What we crave is what keeps the money coming in... period! If we were to dig deeper I'm sure people around her knew the drugs, her undying love, was not a good thing; but was an awesome things once put into song!! Some do choose a way of life, but many choose a way of life in order not to loose another. Her music is classic in my collection and I will forever miss her, her music has gotten me through more than one bad moment in time. Another great contributor to our music diary lost!
