Amy Winehouse joins Club 27

Here goes another meteor ! .... Not only in her looks, in her real life too, Amy Winehouse lived very much in the 'spirits' of 60s & 70s.

I am not a fan of her nor I am familiar with her music. From the few tracks I have so far heard here and there, Amy Winehouse is a singer & song-writer of considerable talent. But I always liked her for being different, with her devil-may-care attitude. At a time when even an occational bath-room singer can become an 'idol' or an 'icon' by gate-crashing into some venues of reality TV-shows, and claiming thousands of fans & followers instantly, Amy Winehouse was a throw-back to the bygone era. An era where art and creativity were pursued with unique craze & passion, even leading to self-destruction.

Amy Winehouse too lived on the edge, choosing a lonely, risky and self-destructive path. Music world has lost a great talent. May her soul rest in peace.
