I gave all my honors and grief on another thread. I really liked Whitney Houston's musci alot.
I have just one more thing to say, sort of tongue and cheek. Ozzy survived another musician, again.

I liked her music too...and still have it...how will I miss her? I can listen to it whenever I want. It's not like I used to talk to her on the phone or anything

yesterdays dinner topic was that all super stars have too much money, and that makes them do these things, another logical fallacy.

She had an extraordinarily beautiful voice no question . . . and the loss of anyone before their time diminishes us all.
I tend to be a bit philosophical about celebrity deaths . . . there's probably at least half a dozen with equal talent that die in Africa every year before they're 5 years old. There's a randomness to opportunity we sometimes forget. She had it all before her and she blew it really . . . bad choices. Very sad nevertheless.

In the next 5 or 6 weeks, about 7 million people will die. Every one, precious.

And are we gonna feel sad about ALL of them ALL the time. NO...we limit our grief to people we know and actually exist in our personal lives. We do not actually know these people, they are celebreties. Half the people they know don't even know them.
The only thing I find sad about this is that she destroyed her life with drugs... I felt sorry for her because of that before she died. Not enough to loose sleep over though. Most of the info is just tabloid gossip anyway. True...not true...your guess is as good as mine. Since I doubt anyone here actually knew her personally.
I don't tend to feel grief for celebrity packages....they are moulded, shaped and sold to us. We still have what they sold. We have lost nothing.
Their families and real friends however have lost a family member and friend. I am not one of them so can't get upset.
