The past couple of years have been really rough for music fans. We lost Michael Jackson, England Dan Seals, Wayman Tisdale, Teddy Pendergrass, Lena Horne, Gerry Rafferty, Gil Scott-Heron, Clarence Clemons, Nate Dogg, Phoebe Snow, Amy Winehouse, Dobie Gray, and Etta James.
I had gotten off the computer around 7 PM Eastern last night so that I could spend some time playing Xbox with my kids. About an hour later, my mother called me. She told me that she was playing a game on Pogo and somebody in her game room mentioned that Whitney had died, and she asked me if it was true or just a rumor. What she said came as a complete shock to me, so I quickly went into the living room and turned on CNN. Sadly, it was true.
Like most people here, I grew up on her music, as I did with Michael Jackson's music. Yes, she had many personal struggles, just like Michael did. But it doesn't change that fact that Whitney and Michael were perhaps the greatest entertainers of our generation. Elvis Presley had his personal struggles, and he was without a doubt the greatest entertainer of our parents' generation. There will never be another Elvis, there will never be another Michael, and there will never be another Whitney. May she rest in peace.
Well, Some People say Bobby Brown was reponable for giving her Drugs.
Whitney was a grown woman. She was entirely capable of making her own decisions.
On a side note, I want to say that I absolutely despise weasel words such as "some people say".
