RIP Amy Winehouse

Wonder how many of the people who are trashing her musical and personal legacy are Tony Bennett fans.

Drudge: The only people with a boner about Amy Winehouse is the media. She sang one song that became a hit and it depicted her own personal train wreck of a life. But the media is making her into someone who died a hero's death.

 

can you link something that portrays her dying a hero's death please

 

It's the attention. Check yahoo's number of news threads. What makes her so damn significant? That was Drudge's take...her and any other celebrity drug related train wreck gets glorified by its attention and empathy.

 

There's a big difference between attention and being called a hero.

Surely you get that.

 

I don't think he does

 

Attention leads to celebrity.

A soldier dying for his or her country in Afghanistan gets less said about them.

 

Drudge, one of the best talk show people out there, wouldn't understand you.

 

I hate when we create a hierarchy of death. Someone's death is important in different ways for different people.

 

Neither point explains why you're saying Amy Winehouse is being viewed as a hero.

 

Why does a song touch one harder than a soldier's death?

 

Do you honestly not understand why celebrity deaths are covered?
