... Rest in Peace Amy

I am not normally one to weigh in on the death of someone I didn't know. I don't know the whole story and I don't like to jump to conclusions. Or to give my unwanted opinion about something that I honestly do not know the whole story about. But after I read this quote by Russell Brand I felt the need. He seems to say it all.

"Now Amy Winehouse is dead, like many others whose unnecessary deaths have been retrospectively romanticised, at 27 years old. Whether this tragedy was preventable or not is now irrelevant. It is not preventable today. We have lost a beautiful and talented woman to this disease. Not all addicts have Amy’s incredible talent. Or Kurt’s or Jimi’s or Janis’s, some people just get the affliction. All we can do is adapt the way we view this condition, not as a crime or a romantic affectation but as a disease that will kill.”
