In reply to Amy Winehouse, posted by floatingbridge on July 24, 2011, at 17:22:43
People harbor such hatred against those who stumble and fall in life. When I was a drug user (and afterwards, when I was a burned out ex-drug user), people were cruel. Vicious. Even people my age who were doing the same things I had done/was doing--the cruelty was mind-blowing. Now that I'm healthy and reasonably attractive again (thank you, retin-a), people are suddenly polite, sometimes even kind. Amy Winehouse will never get to experience this, unfortunately.
I don't know how to feel about the situation. I mean, its tragic and I don't have any contempt for Amy Winehouse, but a part of me just thinks its all so...pointless. Banal, even. Another artist dead too soon; the tabloids go wild, then there will be another victim. The cycle goes on and on...
Nice post, by the way.
