Re: Amy Winehouse - When Is It Too Soon To Make Fun Of A Tragedy?
I don't want this to seem like a lecture/ I didn't open this thread to make a speech or lecture anyone
**sips water from under podium** ...but that Rehab song is way misunderstood. That's the brilliance of Winehouse's music, it addresses social issues, and that was an issues close to her heart/she knew she had a problem... I feel Rehab was a cry for help in the most straight forward way she knew...
does that make any sense?
No part of her tragic life and death could ever support a humorous antidote I would appreciate. But I won't condemn unless I feel someone is just being sadistically cruel. Then we fight
If you knew anything about addiction - I do, I watch Celebrity Rehab - addiction controls the person. They are not in control anymore, the drugs are.
When Hooded Rat has a family member who dies. we'll start a thread and make fun of the death.
For now, we could make fun of his name. I think about a hooded clitoris every time a see his name
;-)
I watched the third season of Celebrity Rehab because of Mike Starr...I grew up on Alice In Chains, and never gave up hope Mikey would kick his heroin addiction.
It broke my heart to see him battle for another shot at making music, but more so to just be a productive member of society/that show doesn't flatter anyone/it's actually embarrassing to watch at times. Jerry Cantrell denounced Celebrity Rehab, saying it was exploitive of his friend...but Mike keeded the money...see the irony? It does prey on people.
I was crushed for days after his sudden death in March. He's with his best friend Layne Staley now, but the tragedy remains that neither of them had to die... addiction
is a tragedy/anyone that suggests otherwise or wants to debate that is either uninformed or being purposely insensitive and judgmental about "that lifestyle." Well, there are as many "lifestyles" to "judge" as there are addicts in the world and it
can kill ANYONE! imho
that said...
lol @ hooded clitoris hehe (no offense to my JUB-bud Hooded Rat
)
The day she died, I ended up telling my friends:
So, they tried to make her go to rehab...In hindsight, she probably should have said yeah, yeah, yeah...
That may just be my sense of humour, or it may be the fact that someone who actively engages in something they know will likely end up killing them (especially hard drugs and the like) knew the risks and had options to get out of that lifestyle...But decided not to.
As such, I find it hard to feel sorry for someone who purposefully chose to self-destruct rather than get help...That may sound harsh...But, I suppose that's my view on it.
okay, I submit, Reeper should be exempt from being serious EVAR! with that avatar hehehe I love it! just a week ago I watched a video with that skit -- the Ministry of Stupid Walks lol hilarious!
Amy would have smiled, she had a great sense of humor, but I know her addiction brought her shame and if she could have been clean she would have been... poor think, bless her heart.
I think it's too soon, but it was bound to happen. And now Arecibo's inactive... :'(
what's that mean exactly? inactive? I'm thinking, the moderators dragged him out back by the dumpster and beat the shit out of him then confiscated his meds since he was abusing them___
JUB members may not be angels but we can be conscious that we're role models for some peeps [if only one kid is saved we all win!].
whoa, is it too soon to make fun of Arec being inactive?
I'm an insensitive bastard sometimes....
I like the person known as 'hooded rat'
and I liked the person formerly known as active Arecibo
That's all I got
thank you, thanx, thank you, aww you guys are sweet, thanks so much
