I must say Amy Winehouse's death hit me pretty hard. It's funny how music and the ones who create it touch me so much more than let's say movie or TV stars, favorite athletes etc. Another reason is because "Back To "Black" was my go-to record when I had a really difficult time in 2007. Music always gets me through the rough times and hers was no exception.
But what really pissed me off is that so many were angry at her death because, according to their logic, it took away from the tragic events in Norway and after all it was her own wrongdoing. People don't realize that drugs can be like a disease, something you can't just shake off, especially when you're under so much pressure as she was.
I'm paying tribute to her incredible talent by choosing one of her more upbeat songs and another favorite of mine. Take care, Amy, and thank you! Your music will live with me forever!

And I know, you're right. I'm just not used to be talked down to like that. Maybe I was spoiled at my last job, but I was actually appreciated. lol I am hoping this is JUST a stepping stone.
I love hearing from you, stranger.
