Dammit, 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?

I've had three floods in my kitchen in the last ten days. I think that's a little excessive.

And I've just identified the earworm I've had for most of this time:
Cos I'm in too deep
And I'm trying to keep
Up above in my head
Instead of going under...

Forty years ago today, the world's greatest singer got stood up by her boyfriend and her girlfriend, shot up alone in her hotel room, and died of a heroin overdose at the age of 27.

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.
