Amy Winehouse: Roast in Peace


I swore to make a point not to report on stories that everyone would hear about one way or another, but Blabbermouth has a rather hilarious take on Amy Winehouse's (still very, very mysterious) death.

Basically a bunch of washed out hard rock & heavy metal stars use the occasion of Ms. Winehouse's demise to remind kids that drugs are not cool... never mind that one of the stars in question was once declared dead for two minutes following an OD of his own. Guess Amy's real party foul was not shaking it off and hopping right back on that night train.

Anyway, no one that hypocritical could possibly be serious about it, so I like to view Blabbermouth's eulogy comp as a sort of impromptu wake roast, probably the best I've seen or heard since 1987's classic Amazon Women on the Moon:



PS. Fun Fact: 1987 was also the year Nikki Sixx had his infamous OD, which means society was this close to Henny Youngman dancing on Sixx's grave.
