Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, John Belushi, Layne Staley, Frankie Lymon, Keith Moon, Gram Parsons, Sid Vicious, Johnny Thunders, David Ruffin, Shannon Hoon, Dee Dee Ramone, Bobby Hatfield, and Ol' Dirty Bastard. That's why you're not surprised.

Don't forget Amy Winehouse. If she keeps it up, she'll be joining that list.

She's almost at rock bottom now. I can tell. She'll either die or finally ask for help.

Eh. She's better off dead. Obviously from the stories, she doesn't want to live.

But necessary. Winehouse is nuttier than squirrel shit. I'm not saying I want her DEAD, mind you, but you can't fault Roth's opinion when you look at Winehouse's life choices.
