[78-L] Amy Winehouse

[Michael Biel]

No No No.  I won't say it.

I won't say it.

OK, if you insist I will say it..


Maybe if Rupert Murdoch was still tapping phones they might have found

There.  I said it.

You do realize that this would have been the headline on tomorrow's News 
of the World.  They could always put out a Sunday edition of The Sun.

It is ironic that in the past few days we have been discussing the death 
of a 94 year old, and now here comes the death of a 27 year old.  But it 
is true that our 78 era also had its share of tragic young 
substance-induced deaths.
