Sad, she was one hell of a talent, but wasted her life away.

NO! Damnit no....

I was so hoping she was going to clean up. She was amazing. Her voice was unique and it was a musical instrument all it's own. Her pre-"Rehab" stuff was just perfect.

Damnit.....

It's too bad she couldn't pull herself out of the self destructive spiral she had been in for years. Seriously too, not facetiously.

And for a completely inappropriate joke a la Jim Norton

Condolences to her dealer.

I went to this list expecting people I'd never heard of + Kurt Cobain, but geez, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison? For whatever reason I thought they all lived a while past their prime.

Phenomenal article by none other than comedian Russell Brand. Well, well, well worth the read. I didn't care one way or the other about Winehouse, but this puts it into a new light.

Coke is a hell of a drug.

What a waste.

Not surprised.

Holy shit, that's what she used to look like? I've only been familiar with her since the drugs.

I got into her music very shortly before all the problems. I thought she was so pretty. Seeing those later shots was surprising.

The changes over the last.... 6 years or so are very remarkable. I'll save everyone the mental images of the pictures on google image search the last 2-3 years but feel free to search. She really looked like she aged 30 years. The pictures taken over the last year... ugh.

The picture on the right was taken sometime in 2004. She looked mighty tasty back then I'll have to freely admit.

Once again... coke is a hell of a drug.

Way more than coke.

At one point she was hospitalized having taken cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, ketamine, and alcohol at once.

It is amazing that there are humans out there that can take that shit and live. While most of the rest will die with in 5 years.

I still maintain Jagger and Richards sold their soul to the devil... no other explanation makes sense.

I think the entire band that is left from the original line up are all Crypt-Keepers/Undead...

When sick people keep refusing treatment - she had repeatedly left rehab centers within weeks - then they're trying to die. Well, she succeeded finally. I agree that addiction is a disease. But when a person has every treatment available to them, and they choose the disease over the treatment, what can you really say?

If you could freely drop it on a whim and accept the help you get, then it wouldn't be called "addiction", shithead. My father was an alcoholic. I hated him thoughout my entire childhood when he drank. I thought the same exact way as what you're stating - when I was a child. I'm glad I grew up.

How many people has weed killed? Oh, right. Zero.

But alcohol is legal, so....

Yeah but alcohol is better for sporting events. Unless that sport is Xbox.

I've only been high once in my life and I think it's the only way I could watch bowling or golf on TV.

Funny thing is watching golf when you are sober actually makes you feel like you are on drugs. It's the Bob Ross of televised sports.

I really enjoy watching Golf in HD. It's like a ballin' nature show with little dudes walking in the foreground and nice, soothing music.

And then sometimes there's that huge quiet guy from James Bond and another dude with a hockey stick.

Weed has killed thousands... It is the import/export side effect that is dangerous.
