Article: We failed Amy Winehouse (archive.li)

My view on this very feminist piece is that Winehouse wasn't anywhere near as influential or impactful to music and other musicians as Nirvana (which is the article's main point of comparison). Many other musicians and singers have come and gone (both male and female) and are not held in anywhere near the same reverence as Cobain, and that's simply because they had no lasting impact.

Amy Winehouse was an outstanding artist. And yet, in my opinion, she was nowhere near Nirvana in terms of creativity and impact on society.

Of course, mental illnesses in our society should be taken seriously and a good way of dealing with them should be found in order to help those affected. Whether Amy Winehouse, Britney Spears and co should serve as an example... I think we can work that out differently.
