Amy Whinehouse

I was a fan of Amy Winehouse. I hoped that she would leave her demons behind before they finally caught-up with her today in her London home. Such a tremendous voice and talent wasted. Her death at 27, just like all those who have become members of the dreadful club, is a warning sign for anyone with talent in a media driven world. Some have been able to escape the clutches of the curse, Elton John finally conquered his demons, but it took him some two decades before shaking the chains of addiction.

Oddly, for no known reason, I kept thinking of Jim Morrison over the past few days. I use to be a big-time Doors fan but I really haven't listened to a song in a very long time. Yet an image of him kept coming to mind. Something was just around the corner, another singer gone before they could reach old age.
