The Anonymous Widower

Farewell Amy Winehouse

From my bedroom in Cockfosters, I could see Southgate School, which Amy Winehouse would attend many years later.

I can also remember my sister and the other girls at the school coming and going innocently in the road in front of the house.

Now, after a later life of abuse, the obviously talented Amy is gone.  How many of the other boys and girls in her year have gone the same way? Probably only a handful, if my feelings are correct.  This is based on the fact that most of my late son’s school friends are still here. And some have not been without drink and drug problems.

So when we remember Amy, let’s remember the good things, like her music and her success.  And never ever think that her drink and drug problems are something to be admired.

Sadly, it seems that if you’re in the music industry, you attract those criminals, who want to sell you drugs, so they can have a large slice of your money.
