I remember a few decades ago being in a hospital visiting a woman who was on oxygen to help her breathe. Her lungs were very badly damaged and largely destroyed because she was a smoker. The hospital were doing what they could, and there was a vague chance they could stabilise things, but most definitely the doctors had said that what was needed was an immediate stopping of smoking and an attempt to clear the lungs otherwise the woman would die.
I recall with horror the woman’s sister bringing her cigarettes and helping her out of bed and off to an area for a smoke. Inevitably the woman died, solely as a result of cigarette smoking. In my mind her sister had willing contributed to her death. Yet, her sister, who wailed the loudest and longest at the funeral, saw absolutely nothing wrong with what she had done. In her mind it was perfectly fine to bring the cigarettes into the hospital so her sister could smoke. She just didn’t get what she had done. She was an arsehole.
Similar could be said of the idiots mourning the loss of Amy Winehouse. Amy Winehouse was a junkie and an alcoholic. Fact. At the time of composing this the autopsy remains with an ‘unexplained’ verdict, but we can pretty much assume that drink and drugs or the side effects of them killed her.
Yet, at the makeshift shrine fans have started outside her home, they are happily leaving bottles of vodka, thinking they are clever.
Heck, if Amy Winehouse had been killed by being run over by a combine harvester, would they have left models of combine harvesters on her shrine? If she’d been killed by a chain-saw, would fans have kindly provided numerous chain-saws for the shrine? If not, why not?
Amy Winehouse fans are very happy to leave bottles of vodka, the very thing that actually killed her, and none of these arseholes can see that what they are doing is indelicate and wrong. Shame on them.
