It is very difficult to get yourself out of that kind of lifestyle, and since, everything of course is more boring after quitting a life of chemically induced happiness, addicts tend to go back.Loaferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00315800159608321140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826101215822428783.post-23855344866418490692011-07-24T12:46:56.895+05:302011-07-24T12:46:56.895+05:30I've had a fair share of tortured creative sou...I've had a fair share of tortured creative souls in my life... mostly artists. Two, one my husband, died before the age of 30. Another, just recently, before reaching 40. All from substance abuse which plagued them all their lives.<br /><br />One thing I've learned about creative people like these is that they do NOTHING in half measures. Extreme emotion is what fuels their muse... and it's these same extremes which eventually destroy them.<br /><br />Amy Whinehouse always reminded me of Billy Holiday, and like Holiday, her music reflected the pain and hurt she carried all her life. <br /><br />Her detractors were fond of ridiculing her. I've never judged her for anything other than the great music she produced... and that's how I'll always remember her.MaliceInWonderlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02620478610079426441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826101215822428783.post-28905409008129397642011-07-24T10:29:38.201+05:302011-07-24T10:29:38.201+05:30Bill, you've hit the whole thing on the head -...Bill, you've hit the whole thing on the head - this was 150% predictable - and, had she lived, she would have been as I've also described Elvis - a bloated parody of himself from 1969 onward.<br /><br />Never overstay your welcome.<br /><br />(On the other hand, it's hard to feel sorry for the gal - she loved two things, at least from her behavior - singing; and drugs. She died doing something she loved.
