Commentary By Ron Beasley
I'm an old fart and shouldn't have liked Amy Winehouse but I did. She was troubled but talented..
Yes a really nice take on a classic. Yes she had some stuff that wasn't so classic but much of that was really good too. Vincent Van Gough cut off his ear - Jimmy Hendrix and Amy Winehouse OD.
Hey Ron. I think I'm older than you - I was in the navy during the Cuban thing with Kennedy, eh. But I also like'd Amy. But I'm also pissed off everyone close to her seems to have let her just get lost and die. Yes I know some of us are difficult but can't we save anyone with talent. Seems not. I'm sorry she is gone. I don't believe in any BS about passing etc. etc. but for Amy I wish peace, eh.

ReplyDeleteAs someone who has been been in a self destructive cycle I know that you have to get out of it yourself. Interventions just reinforced my self destruction. When I finally turned it around it wasn't those close to me or a mythical "higher power" it was me and I was the only one who could do it. For Amy that never happened and her peace is not living in a tormented world.
I have attended AA meetings and what I saw were a lot of dry drunks who weren't really living.
