Someone from the Reagon Admin. talking about drugs LOL. Seriously... "Contras" anyone? Crack epidemic?

@MrSockoOck Hypocrisy is the regular bedfellow of the right wing.

@TheTdot2010 sure buddy, you really put me in my place, not. ha :)

LONG LIVE AMY WINEHOUSE :) Amy Winehouse could drink the whole hypocritical republican party under the table AND still sing and write like the genius she was... and win grammys for it too ... love you Amy

@echosixnoble Who the hell are you. People happen to like Amy Winehouse, just because you don't doesn't mean she sucks, and the 31 people who liked your comment tells me that I'm not dealing with some bright people here.

@SupaAmi Correct, those too don't deserve respect.

I'm dismissing your analogy. It's a perfectly legitimate way to argue against what you are claiming. Logic 101 here, try to keep up.

[SupaAmi]

@seiferganon She's STILL was a musician who I think deserved respect for her accomplishment and her talent. I'm in no way trying to make the point that she was at the same level as those other musician, but to belittle her talent is just plain stupid.

By your logic, LEGENDS like Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Elvis Presley etc don't deserve admiration because they wrote few or none of their own music.

Anyway, you're still missing my original point. You must be a bit slow.

[seiferganon]

@SupaAmi There's a MAJOR difference between writing the lyrics and writing the music. Amy did the former, not the latter.

The artists you listed deserve to be looked up to because they contributed and helped music to grow. We still talk about them even today. Amy did no such thing. She was a drug addict who happened to sing, whereas the artists you mentioned were musicians who did drugs. There's a difference.
