Ok she was young and it is sad and a waste, but age was the ONLY thing she had in common with the likes Hendrix and Morrison. She was not even in their league. She was a one-hit wonder.
Yeah, I heard a lot of people at work today comparing her to the others in the so-called "27 club", and I had to correct them: Morrison, Joplin, etc, no matter whether you liked them or what you thought of their music, became famous because of their MUSIC, not their drinking/drug habits. Their habits became public knowledge after they became famous, and in some cases, not until they died. Amy Winehouse's fame, however, came about as much for her partying as her music, and arguably more so. From the get-go, you NEVER heard one mentioned without the other. An inevitable train wreck from the very beginning. No comparison to the other artists.
