R.I.P. Amy Winehouse

    After midnight I learned about the untimely death of songbird Amy Winehouse. I was a huge fan of hers and hoped that she would kick her drug addiction and provide the soundtrack to my life for decades to come. I was thinking how sad it is that one day after she was found dead that E! preempted the Kardashians to show the E! True Hollywood Story of Amy Winehouse. Like it really pains them to preempt this show full of no talent bimbos for someone truly talented. I watch the Kardashian shows mostly to mock them.

    I'm not impressed by entertainers of any sort and mostly relegate them to court jesters to entertain me. The first time I heard rehab I was blown away. The song was totally addictive. I thought she was black before I saw her and I loved her voice. So original and her voice is one of those that makes you wish you could sing like she did. She was both retro and cutting edge rolled into one. Such an attractive combo. I guess she was having problems before fame reared it's ugly head. Nobody gives her credit for being a singer-songwriter. She became a joke which is bullshit. People love to pick apart someone who is talented and rip them to shreds. Think about how you would like some asshole w/a camera following you around documenting your downward spiral to death?

    I just know that "Fade to Black" was my soundtrack when I lived in Vegas and "You know I'm no good" was on repeat for about 3-1/2 years much to the chagrin of family and friends. My teenage son hid the CD from me and he was in cahoots with my husband on that score. It miraculously reemerged when his xbox live was deactivated. Funny how that works.

    Today I'm listening to her music and thinking about her life and all the things she could have accomplished had she beaten her drug addiction. It makes my heart hurt. It's the same sadness I feel when listening to Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Presley, Jim Morrison and Janis Joplin. Twenty Seven is such a tender age and you still have your whole life ahead of you. At twenty-seven I had my first baby. I was still full of piss and vinegar and thought I would conquer the world. I wonder if she would have lived longer had she not become famous at such a young age. I wonder a million different things that I will never get any answers to and that saddens me.

      Jackson Toxicology Report -- Propofol Plus ...

      As soon as I heard Michael Jackson was dead I literally said it was a drug overdose. It's sad that anyone gives their life over to drugs. Having a relation with these problems gives me a deeper understanding about the desperate acts of an addict. Drugs are bad people (in my best South Park imitation) Anyone who watched that show in 2003 should have realized he was a hard core drug addict. The segment where he's feeding blanket and shaking his legs with the junkie itch and twitching legs is a giveaway. What other person forces their children to wear masks and dangles them over balconies? Head on over to www.thesmokinggun.com to read court papers in the child molestation case. It's sickening and that ladies and gentlemen is what ended the fan portion of my Michael Jackson admiration. To me there is nothing worse than a pedophile. Experts say they can't be cured even when they are chemically castrated, they use objects to abuse children! Neverland was the ultimate kid magnet and when he paraded the kid who was a cancer patient around on that special it literally made me vomit. And what about Chris Tucker accompanying MJ on his private jet and plying children with "Jesus Juice"? Nobody called him on his behavior. No charges were filed against him. I'm done with him too.

      The thing I find most interesting is that this is the same Dr. that was treating James Brown when he died. I'd like to learn more about that aspect of the case. In my opinion James Brown was more important in terms of musical history and strides for black performers. It's natural to assume that MJ didn't have much cultural pride. He transformed himself into a white Diana Ross. His children are all white and til the end he insisted they were his biological children when it's obvious they aren't. A parent doesn't have to be a biological parent and it's just bizarre that he would continue to insist they were his bio kids. That had to do with his trying to portray himself as a heterosexual. If you're ashamed of your sexuality then you are doing things you consider shameful. Besides that really wasn't anyone's business but his own except when he brought children to his bed. WRONG, WRONG AND WRONG!

      Also, having seen both performers in concert multiple times, I was more in awe of James Brown in his 60's doing the splits than I was by MJ at any age. He peaked with Thriller and could never top it. His spending was out of control and that level of excess is disgusting when people in America and around the world are starving. He's the one who sang, "If you wanna make the world a better place look at yourself and make a change..." Sad that he didn't follow his own advice.

      The doctor's office in Houston is in a neighborhood known for clinics for "pill doctors". These doctors don't really treat anyone. You takes your cash and you gets your pills after a mock exam.

      Were 3 autopsies really necessary? Let me guess, the 3rd one will be released and it will say he died of natural causes at 50? That seems like a move to create a story so they can try to salvage his reputation and plant him at Neverland and sell tickets.

      Giving the kids to their 79 year old grandmother is something that would NEVER transpire in any family court if money didn't change hands. It's not fair to the kids but then again has any part of their lives been fair? They were just live toys for him to play with! Nobody has reported anything about what type of education they have received. Noting his paranoia, I seriously don't he would allow them to leave home to attend school in a traditional setting. I also read that he was going to get them implanted with microchips like pets so he could track their location online! I hope that's not true.

      I read somewhere that MJ was supporting his Mom but since his death she's been living on Social Security since he didn't provide any money for her to raise his children. She had to go to court to ask for money from the estate because his trustees who are an attorney and a music executive! The court delayed it's decision. If you can't trust them, who can you trust? It didn't matter to him. All that mattered for at least 25 years was drugs and that's sad.

      The saddest thing to report is that's probably the best thing that could have happened to his kids. Now they can lead a somewhat normal life. Did you see where they went to Disneyland with their cousins WITHOUT security?! I guess they had to since he didn't leave money to provide for that or even for food, clothing or shelter.
