Other News:This past Friday morning, British singer Amy Winehouse was found dead in her London flat from an unconfirmed report of drug overdose. Winehouse who has a long history of alcohol and drug abuse during her life and career has been in and out of rehab. To be honest I know nothing of her music and I did see one video of a song she sang that was both terrible and unwatchable. The entertainment community is all a Twitter over her death but honestly, it all feels like they are jumping on board to just get some face-time or press exposure on this recent development. It seems like we are popularizing and glamorizing bad behavior. She has also been known to take on the paparazzi, curse, and clearly embracing her deadly addictions. Her path was predetermined as she was found alone, dead in her home. Oddly enough she has joined the unique "27 Club" which is a big string musicians that have passed away at the age of 27 years of age.
