Amy Winehouse Dead at 27
Tell you this, if I was a druggy rock star I'd stay sober from my 27th to 28th birthday. Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Curt Cobain, Pigpen from Grateful Dead, all died at 27.

The Forever 27 Club. Sad.

They were broadcasting a retrospective of sorts on a local radio station yesterday evening... She certainly did possess talent and a very unique style.

She subscribed to the theory, live fast, die young, leave a good looking corpse.
Well, two out of three. IMO another marginally talented performer who became "famous" for her bizarre personna more than her talent.

She had an amazing voice. I was watching a live concert of her on HDNET a few months back and I had to turn it off. She just looked put off for having to perform. She just ooozed attitude of "I wish I was anywhere else than here". Half hearted vocals and facial expressions of just disdain for performing.
