For real. You're actually gatekeeping music right now.

I'm assuming you actually have an appreciation for music and aren't just able to make an obscure and meaningless list. In that case you'll know that musical bands aren't like sports teams; music hits different people in different ways and it can be for any number of reasons from the sound of the song to the meaning of the lyrics.

Goodbye normal world, cruel person.

She was besotted by the idea that Tony Bennett had said her name, not because she won the award. Bennett was a huge influence for her so a huge moment. Ended up creating an incredible duet in 2011 - Body and Soul - well worth a listen.

I'm talking about Asif Kapadia's 2015 documentary Amy.

Amy Winehouse's story is long and honestly pretty tragic, but essentially it was during one of the numerous periods she was forced to go to rehab and stop taking drugs that she won this award. Awarded to her by her literal childhood idol, she would go on to say to a friend just offstage, "This is all so boring without drugs".

Really, I see this moment as the point of no return for Amy. In this moment she had it all - fame, respect, a path to become a legend - and it still wasn't half as good as when she was high.

Bull sharks are less inclined to gently test. Tiger sharks aren't as aggressive, but they'll still enjoy eating you if it's easy enough.

We've got so many shark attacks and sightings locally that I'm legit considering not even going in the shallows of the river or ocean anymore. One that happened yesterday: https://www.9news.com.au/national/wa-news-suspected-shark-attack-swan-river-north-fremantle-perth/2a333b89-19c0-4590-acdf-1d5796406c04

True artist. And (very sadly) a member of the 27 Club.

You’d imagine Kurt, Jimi, Jean-Michael, or Janis or Jim reacting exactly the same way.

Tragic and terrible loss to the world. May her music and legacy reign on.

I would rather hold one of those huntsman spiders getting posted all over recently. As long as I don’t actually go back to any of those posts and look at the photos, I can say with certainty I’d rather hold the spider. Maybe.
