I’m off my Turkey message to commemorate Amy Winehouse who died yesterday of a suspected drugs overdose. Her meteoric rise to fame and rapid descent into Hell was tragically predictable. Her seminal album Back to Black is work of a genius with lyrics laced with sorrow and utter desperation. Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain and Janis Joplin and now Amy - all died at the same age. It’s not called the 27 Club for nothing. She just couldn't come back from the black. Let’s hope she’ll be remembered more for her art and less for her addictions.
