4. Sad.
Wonder if it was a drug overdose, she has been going downhill for awhile now.

RIP Amy.

7. I can't imagine it wasn't
She really struggled with alcohol and pills. I know she was in and out of rehab. She looked like hell the last time I saw her in an interview which was about 6 months ago.

21. She did go to rehab. Unfortunately she wanted to do drugs more than be sober..

17. I think most of us saw this happening.
She had gotten so thin, so disconnected with the world around her... found wandering London streets numerous times.

Very sad if this is true. She was a very talented artist.

18. They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Edited on Sat Jul-23-11 12:14 PM by rocktivity
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go go go

I'd rather be at home with ray
I ain't got seventy days
Cause there's nothing
There's nothing you can teach me
That I can't learn from Mr Hathaway

I didn't get a lot in class
But I know it don't come in a shot glass

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go go go

The man said 'why do you think you here'
I said 'I got no idea
I'm gonna, I'm gonna lose my baby
so I always keep a bottle near'
He said 'I just think you're depressed,
this me, yeah baby, and the rest'

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know

I don't ever wanna drink again
I just ooh I just need a friend
I'm not gonna spend ten weeks
have everyone think I'm on the mend

It's not just my pride
It's just 'til these tears have dried

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go go go


-- "Rehab," written by Amy Jade Winehouse, 2006

19. A silent post for Amy Winehouse's pusher, who will now be reduced to working or going on the dole.
