I didn't realize she had a daughter. That girl has gone through some tumultuous times with the marital difficulties and substance abuse not to mention everything spread all over for public consumption. I'm always amazed at how resilient kids can be even in the most desperate times. I hope she is surrounded by truly caring people to boost her through young adulthood without much parental assistance. Kids seem to mature so quickly, and throwing all those family difficulties in the mix just stokes the fire.

Someone text an internet exorcist: the demon spirit of Nelson Baboon seems to be possessing Muff Wigglers…

being an addict myself (8 years sober) it saddens me to see anyone die due to their addictions. addiction is a disease. some of us are born with the genes that make it easier to become one. very few can get out of it, and most die or end up in jail. being an addict doesnt make u a bad person, just a sick one. i think its 5x harder to stay sober when your in the spotlight and surrounded by people who are waiting for you to fail so they can make money off it. the press alone would be a total fucking nightmare and would drive most to use again. its also very sad that her daughter seems to be caught up in it as well, there are a bunch of pics of her doing blow and numerous reports shes battling her own addictions. maybe Whitneys death will be a wake up call to her daughter.

In 1996 my best friend relapsed into a drug habit which eventually killed him-my other friend (a psych nurse) had said to me beforehand that the only thing that would force him to quit was the loss of physical or emotional support, and sure enough him being kicked out of the house by his long-suffering wife was the only thing that (temporarily) got him off heroin-his parents giving him money (against his wife's advice) was what killed him.

For someone in the position where there's lots of money around that's yours, and no-one around you has the authority to show you tough love, I don't see how the cycle could be easily broken. Brian Wilson is the other example I can think of whose wealth and talent worked against his recovery - his autobiography Wouldn't It be Nice is a pretty scary read.

also I thought this was one of the most successful mash-ups in the early 00's before it all went rapidly Nathan Barley.

really brings out how bleak a song it is really. I especially love how it winds up the purists.

I wanna dance with numbers.... that really is the loneliest sound.

It's not right, but it's ok - as good as I remembered it. There's not enough Mbira in R&B!

And then there's the Robert Wyatt / Archie Shepp connection...I'd long forgotten about that.

Thanks for posting these. I had a long drive with only Heart FM for company today - don't want to be mean but let's just say they were focusing on the lesser Whitney classics....

May she rest in peace...

BUT... much like Winehouse, This was NOT "tragic". This was a foreseeable consequence of bad behavior. I really wish people would stop making these assholes into martyrs. What about her kids? and her family? As someone who's been around drug addicts my entire life, I've got very little sympathy for Whitney. What a waste.
