Topic: A Massacre in Norway... And Amy Winehouse is dead.

[Claimh Solais]

I wasn't even aware that Amy Winehouse was such a big deal.  I've only heard her name in passing the last few years...can't even think of a single song of hers that I've heard.  But considering how celebrity-obsessed popular culture has become during the last 10 years, I'm not surprised that the wreckless ending to her tragic life is getting more press than an ACTUAL human tragedy like what happened in Norway.  No disrespect meant towards Ms. Winehouse, but considering she was merely a victim of her own demons I can't see how she's deserving of so much press.  Just a sad reflection on society as a whole if you ask me.

THIS exactly. Really disappoints me that more people don't pay attention to what happened in Norway. I swear, on Facebook, every day, I'd see about 800 posts about Amy Winehouse, and not a single one about Norway. (So I did the honors and posted about it myself)

By the way, on terms of her music, you're not really missing anything you haven't already heard before.

Again, I mean no disrespect towards Amy Winehouse, but I'd like it if more people where I live actually gave a damn about the incident in Norway.

I've heard much, much more about what happened in Norway than I have of Winehouse...but I'm not surprised to hear that people are making a bigger deal about her death, either. Especially since it sounds like her life was such a mess, and people really love to latch onto that sort of stuff.

...And Amy Winehouse is dead.

Who doesn't already know this? Girl has has been dead for years. I guess even as a zombie she could still sing.
