And I go back to black
Jul. 23rd, 2011 05:57 pmDammit, 27 Club, keep your grasping claws off my favourite musicians!
Amy Winehouse has just died. Circumstances are so far unclear but not, I suspect, unpredictable.
Fuck it, I liked her. As a singer, not as an interesting car crash. 'In My Bed', 'You Send Me Flying', 'Amy, Amy, Amy', 'Rehab', 'You Know I'm No Good' - some of my favourite songs. Her cover of 'Valerie' was way better than the Zutons' original. I love me some raunchy blues-rock, and she had a great voice and great presence. And I never got to see her live.
What kind of fuckery is this?

No, no, no, it just can't be

RIP, Janis Joplin. I don't believe in heaven, but I like to think that somewhere, on some plane of existence, there's a band with Jimi Hendrix on guitar and you on vocals, and it's beautiful, and you never die.
