Amy Winehouse dead at 27

I haven't been on GC since this happened and I am heart-broken. In her short life, she made such an impact on music. I keep playing her songs in my head.

On a different note, I have challenged many of my friends to this: If the same thing happened to Lindsey Lohan, would we all be so sad? Just curious?

I don't watch Lindsay Lohan's movies every week like I listen to Amy Winehouse's music every week...but I'm sure there are people out there who do and who would feel the same way.

If anything Lindsay's life as a whole has probably been sadder because of her immensely screwed up family situation. From all accounts, Amy comes from a very loving family that didn't treat her as a meal ticket.
