We're watching CNN up at Tahoe, and it just broke!  Mike is on it!

One of my FB-friends beat me to it.  No more rehab, no no no.

I can't believe there are people -- Fogheads, who presumably should know better -- who misspell "Janice" Joplin and "Jimmie" Hendrix. Drives me right up the wall.

Saw it coming, but still can't get over it.  Loved her.  Rest in peace, girl.

Sadly, a long list of musicians who died at age 27.  In addition to the above mentioned, the "27 Club" includes bluesman Robert Johnson, Rudy Lewis of the Drifters, Canned Heat leader Alan 'Blind Owl' Wilson, "Pigpen" of the Grateful Dead, Dave Alexander of the Stooges, Pete Ham of Badfinger, Gary Thain of Uriah Heep, Chris Bell of Big Star, Pete de Freitas of Echo & the Bunnymen, Malcolm Hale of Spanky & Our Gang, Roger Lee Durham of Bloodstone, Wallace Yohn of Chase ("Get It On"), and many more.  The list:

Like many people, I was drawn by her talent and wished she could kick her demons.

Be careful what you wish for.  Do you really want Lindsay Lohan to live on as legend like the others?

The Onion posted a story headlined "London Pawn Shop Returns Amy Winehouse’s Grammy Awards Out Of Respect"  and apparently pulled it down after people complained it was, y'know, "too soon".

Folks... it's the f---ing ONION!

Ronnie Spector pays tribute to Amy and her own troubled past.  She also covers Back To Black.  Great vocals, but crappy backing track.

Apparently, there were no illegal drugs found in her system (!).
