Amy Winehouse, Lindsey Lohan, River Phoenix, and the rest. They drink heavy, do drugs, and party non stop. Then when it all goes bad we sit in our livingrooms watching Entertainment tonight say ohhh poor them the fame must have gotten to them. They keep us glued to the tube wanting more news of their mis- deeds. I want to feel bad that they die or spend endless times in rehab. Is it our fault they were thrust into the lime light at an early age? I still don't know where I stand on this. Are they spoiled little brats that can't control themselves? Are they responsible adults that should know better? Are they victims of too much attention?
Tell me what you think.
The thing that bothers me about it is how much media coverage they get, both alive and dead, when they are plenty of other real news stories that get pushed to a back burner. Everybody knows who Whinehouse, Lohan, and Ledger are. But how many of those same people can tell you anything about Keagan, Sotomayor or Scalia? And ultimately who has more impact on thier lives.
