Well Amy Winehouse is dead. Assumed she did the ol' O Dizzle. As one of Chappelles alter egos said "Cocaine is a hell of a drug." Maybe it was Rick James... Well I'm not going to look it up for this article because I am completely indifferent. Amy Winehouse is no one to me. I don't care if famous people die, I blog about it to get hits. So... thanks.
At any rate, watch an episode of intervention where someone who succumbs to drugs or alcohol and wasn't a freaking rich never-worked-a-real-job "musician" / socialite / tabloid fodder person, loses everything, goes to rehab and then relapses and dies and tell me how you feel. Now that's sad. Rich people think they deserve to feel awesome on command, good way to do that... drugs. Problem is drugs kill you. So entitlement + money + everyone feeding your ego + moron = dead from over dose. Sorry to her family, and friends (the ones that didn't help her score) they have to suffer because of her decisions and that is also sad.
I am being critical of someone I really no nothing about, but our societies obsession with famous people and what they do and it being more important than what non-famous people do disgusts me. The fact is that teachers, doctors, mothers, soldiers and tons of other more important and significant people have terrible things happen to them but when a celebrity dies people line up around their house to morn and shower condolences. I don't understand it and I think its undeserved.
Feel free to comment with dissenting opinions.
UPDATE: Looks like they were not able to determine her cause of death. Might have jumped the gun on her being OD, but probably not. We will just have to wait and see.
