Headlining yesterday's entertainment news, beehive hair due Amy Winehouse has been diagnosed with emphysema. It seems as if the drug abuse and disastrous lifestyle has become too much for the woman, leaving her with breath clinching lung disease. Many comment threads across the internet have some of the most hateful comments I've ever seen, saying she's untalented and idiotic and should already be dead because of her drug abuse, but hold up a damn second, untalented? Better check that Grammy list again internet, because apparently the elite panel of unnamed judges doesn't agree with you there. And saying someone "deserves to die" is just fucked up shit. What about Miles Davis or Coltrane, Billie Holiday, the Temptations? Musicians, artists in general, it's not like we haven't heard cases of drug abuse before, but to completely ignore the achievements of an individual just because of a scandal is simply ridiculous. My best to the Winehouse family, and I really hope her condition improves because at the end of the day I just want more dope music.
