You did not see Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, or Jimi Hendrix deteriorate as dramatically as Amy (except for Jim gaining weight). Maybe that quick physical and musical deterioration, and subsequent death, will deter people from this kind of self abuse.

So - The train wreck finally wrecked
I'm with Mike on this

it better the first time around.

Yep. She had a gift, and a look.
I have to confess that I didn't 'get' it about her at all. She could sing on
key without a doubt, but her voice was so mannered and affected that I couldn't
make out a single word she was singing, and that was even when she was
relatively clean.
It's sad someone that young dies, but really it was all her own doing. My
sympathies are somewhat restrained.
