Now, I'm a little late on this, but I had a list of songs that I wanted to just get out of the way, and they're out of the way, so R.I.P., Amy Winehouse. We all know her by her not-so-great "hit" single, "Rehab", or her earlier, more enjoyable single, "You Know I'm No Good".
When I heard that Amy Winehouse died at the age of 27, my first thought was "oh, great, I can see the press headlines now: 'World Loses Another Music Legend'." For those who don't know, musicians like to die at 27.
What do Janis Joplin, The Doors' singer Jim Morrison, Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, blues legend Robert Johnson, Jimi Hendrix, and Rolling Stones' co-founder Brian Jones all have in common?
They ALSO died at the age of 27.
Honorable mentions include most of Lynyrd Skynyrd, who died at 28 and 29, Jeff Buckley's father Tim Buckley, who died at 28, and ALSO in at 28, Sublime frontman Bradley Nowell.
What I ACTUALLY heard was "Have you heard the rest of the Back To Black album? It's actually really good."
Why, no, no I have not.
The title track actually blew me away. She reminds me of a cross between Norah Jones, and The Black Keys, and I love both. A few years back, she actually got a bunch of Grammy nods, but if the Grammys were an indication of good music, "Love The Way You Lie" would have beaten "Nothing On You". Enjoy.
